Donating Equities
In order to better serve our generous donors, the Wyndham Land Trust now has the ability to directly receive donations of appreciated stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. With the recent rapid appreciation of publicly traded securities, now is a great time for donors to consider donating these assets directly to the Land Trust.
Donating such securities provides donors with an immediate charitable deduction for the full market value of the security while avoiding the capital gains taxes that would normally be due upon sale.
Donor Advised Funds
The Wyndham Land Trust is pleased to graciously accept donations through Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs). A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a philanthropic giving vehicle like a charitable savings account. It provides an immediate tax benefit to you, and allows you to easily support us and other charities of your choice over time. Generally, you can invest cash and appreciated securities, as well as other assets that WLT may not be able to accept as a direct gift.
Planned Giving
When you include the Wyndham Land Trust in your estate plans, you’ll help future generations enjoy the rural countryside we treasure.
For example, you can choose to:
• Include the Wyndham Land Trust in your will.
• Name the Trust a beneficiary of your IRA, 401k, and/or 503b plan.
• Give appreciated stocks and bonds, or mutual fund shares and realize larger tax savings.
