Make a Tax-Smart Gift for Nature
One of the best ways to both support Nature and Culture and eliminate capital gains tax is through gifts of appreciated securities. A gift of stock allows you to make a big impact while employing prudent tax strategies by both receiving a charitable tax deduction and reducing your taxable income. Please contact us for DTC instructions.
If you would like to discuss making a gift that isn’t cash or check or to explore your options, please reach out to our Manager of Annual Giving and Donor Engagement, Lauren Alvarez.
Please get in touch with us if you’re interested in making a gift of real estate or setting up a Charitable Remainder Trust.
Why Donate Stock to Nature and Culture International?
When you donate stock that has increased in value and you’ve owned for more than one year:
- Avoid capital gains taxes: Eliminate tax on appreciated value.
- Receive a full charitable deduction: Deduct the fair market value of your gift.
- Increase your impact: Support urgent conservation projects without reducing your after-tax income.
- Help protect nature and culture: Fund programs that sustain ecosystems and communities across Latin America.

- Instruct them to transfer directly to Nature and Culture International.
- Contact us for DTC transfer instructions so your gift is properly credited.
