The Nature Conservancy - Ways of Giving

Share your passion for conservation and give the gift of nature this holiday season.

What Maters Most to Arizonans?
Supporting our vibrant economy.
Sustaining our unique environment.
Enhancing the quality of live in our communities.

No other organization in the field of conservation has so continually challenged itself to work at larger and larger scales to protect Earth's natural diversity. In Arizona, that means redoubling our efforts to work in tandem with private landowners, public agencies and local communities to protect the resources essential to sustaining our quality of life.

A Secure Water Future
To develop solutions to ensure a future water supply, the Conservancy is working in cooperation with a broad group of interested parties along our most fragile river systems--the Verde and San Pedro, as well as Salt and the Gila--and throughout the Colorado River Basin.

Health of Our Land
Arizona's natural interplay of forests and grasslands--our native prairies--must be in balance in order to thrive. The future of Arizona's water supply, native species and rural lifestyles are at risk. Acting in partnership with local communities and others, the Conservancy is creating and carrying out a plan of historic significance which uses tax credits to revitalize our forests and adjacent grasslands. The plan draws on sound science and economic incentives to invest in sustainable thinning of trees and shrubs in a way that helps restore nature's balance.

The Last Great Places Society honors those individuals who make a gift of $10,000 or more to support our conservation efforts over the course of a year. Your generous annual support is the bedrock of our conservation efforts and we want to provide you with special recognition that demonstrates how much we value your support of our organization. Through this program we will keep you informed about how your investment in the Conservancy is making a difference. Additionally, we will provide you with special information and activities to see first-hand the results you have helped the Conservancy to achieve.

The Nature of Business
The Corporate Council for the Environment is a forum for businesses and business leaders who have an interest in wildlife, land and water conservation to promote quality of life and economic growth. Contributions from Council members are used to support on-the-ground conservation efforts in Arizona. Contact Gail Baker at gail_baker@tnc.org or call (602) 322-6994 for details.

Remember Us in Your Estate Plan
Your commitment to conservation in your estate planning will help protect vanishing wilderness and wildlife for future generations. A bequest to The Nature Conservancy may help your estate save on federal estate taxes. Our Legacy Club honors those who have created a lasting legacy to the Conservancy by including us in their estate plans.

Take Stock of Your Investments
It may be financially beneficial to make your year-end gift using appreciated stocks or mutual funds. By donating securities and allowing The Nature Conservancy to sell them, you avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation, and you are entitled to a charitable tax deduction for the full value of the stock!

Consider a Life-Income Gift
A life-income gift enables you to not only make a lasting gift to the Conservancy but to receive income and take advantage of favorable tax laws, as well. Life-income gift options include charitable gift annuities, which provide the security of fixed payments; charitable remainder trusts, which can provide income for retirement; and the Growth and Income Fund, which provides income intended to grow over the long term. Contact Fran Moskovitz at fmoskovitz@tnc.org or call toll-free at 1-866-521-6574 for estate planning details.

Give the Gift of Time
When you volunteer for The Nature Conservancy in Arizona, you are not only helping plant trees, remove invasives and maintain trails—you are making the world a better place for now and for future generations. Now that is something to feel good about.
