Yampa  Valley  Land  Trust

 

HOW  YOU  CAN  HELP

 

Yampa Valley Land Trust needs your help now, more than ever, to preserve the special quality of life enjoyed by all who live, visit, work and play in the Yampa Valley and Northwest Colorado.  Your entire donation supports important conservation projects close to where your heart is.

Open land protection is imperative for our community's health, stability, economy and quality of life.

GIFTS OF CASH, REAL ESTATE OR MARKETABLE SECURITIES                                     

Cash is always greatly appreciated and needed to support YVLT’s overhead, staff, daily operations and other costs and expenses.  Real estate and other similar gifts provide YVLT with marketable assets to further conservation in the Yampa Valley and may enable you to avoid capital-gains taxes.  Land with important conservation values can first be conserved!  Stocks, bonds, mutual funds or index funds provide great opportunities to leverage your gifts.  You can transfer shares to Yampa Valley Land Trust and: (1) receive a charitable deduction for the current appreciated value of such shares; and (2) reduce or possibly avoid paying the capital gains tax if you had sold those shares.                                                                         

 

MAKE YOUR GIFT GROW                                                                                                                                                

Many companies match monthly or payroll deduction gifts as well as annual gifts.  Inquire with your personnel office to learn if they have a matching gift program.  If available, complete their application form and return a copy to the YVLT office.                                                                           

 

LEVERAGE FOUNDATION AND YVLT SUPPORTER CHALLENGE GRANTS          

Make a multi-year pledge to support our operations and help us match any of the challenge grants that we usually have in the works from foundations and supporters of Yampa Valley Land Trust … or … provide Yampa Valley Land Trust with a challenge grant of your own!                      

 

CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS AND OTHER PLANNED GIFTS         

Provide YVLT or yourself with a steady income stream — and with a remainder trust you can leave a significant future gift to YVLT.  Both arrangements may entitle you to considerable tax savings.
