Corporate Opportunities
Businesses and corporations are some of our strongest allies in building thriving, nature-rich communities here in the Columbia River region. To learn more about being a corporate sponsor, please email pcondra@columbialandtrust.org.
Donate Land
We wouldn’t be here without landowners who care about the future of the Northwest. We generally focus on conserving larger acreage wildlife habitat. However, even houses and properties that have little conservation value can be donated. (In these cases, we would then sell the property to acquire land that is valuable as habitat or that furthers our conservation goals.) Explore how your property can benefit the Northwest. Learn more about how donating land benefits you and the nature you love, and contact Conservation Director Cathy Kellon at ckellon@columbialandtrust.org to get the conversation started.
Donate Stock
It’s easy to make a gift of stock to Columbia Land Trust—and there are big benefits to you. A gift of appreciated stock allows you to make a larger contribution than a cash donation; it also helps you save on taxes. Learn more at this link and if have any questions or need additional help with your stock transfer, please contact kmcintyre@columbialandtrust.org.
Give from your IRA
You can support our work by designating Columbia Land Trust as a beneficiary of your retirement plan. We have a new online tool that can help you give from your IRA in ten minutes or less and works with all major IRA custodians. Learn more here. For more information on how to make gifts from your IRA, please talk with your tax consultant and reach out to kmcintyre@columbialandtrust.org.
Give Through Your Workplace
Many employers offer matching programs or other incentives for charitable giving. Whether you’re an employee looking to amplify the impact of your gift or an employer looking to establish or grow your corporate giving program, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out to jsamwel@columbialandtrust.org.
You can also contribute your time, energy, and expertise as a volunteer, be it outdoors as a site steward or photographer, or inside providing valuable office support. Learn more about ways to get involved with Columbia Land Trust.
