Gifts of Cash, Check, or Credit Card
Gifts are tax deductible. Checks should be made payable to Swaner EcoCenter. We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.
Corporation and Matching Gifts
Donors may arrange for gifts to be made by corporations. Donors with closely held or family-held businesses may prevent double taxation by making company gifts, rather than personal gifts. In addition, many companies have established programs to match or multiply donations made by active or retired employees.
Pledges
Donations can be made over a period of several years through pledges. Donors are welcome to make payments in quarterly, semiannual or annual installments, or by any other payment schedule desired.
Appreciated Property: Securities or Real Estate
Appreciated property, such as real estate or securities, is welcomed. This type of donation may be advantageous from a tax standpoint and can save capital gains taxes, estate taxes and income taxes. The income tax deduction for a charitable contribution is typically equal to the fair market value of the gift. To avoid capital gains tax, the gift must be made before the appreciated property is sold.
In-Kind Gifts
A list of needs, which could be provided for through an in-kind gift, is available for review.
Memorial Gifts
A donation in memory of a friend or family member is a thoughtful contribution, and an appropriate way to recognize someone’s life and accomplishments.
