WAYS TO GIVE
Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution
Invest in the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the lands and wildlife you love
What is it about Idaho? The stunning wilderness and thousands of miles of pristine rivers? Endless opportunities for outdoor recreation? Access to clean air, clean water, and unsullied open spaces? As an Idaho-grown group, we rely entirely on the generosity of individuals, businesses, and foundations to do our work. You can show your support for Idaho—and maximize your impact and minimize your tax liability—by making a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA to support ICL’s vital work. Your contribution is an investment in the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the lands and wildlife you hold dear.
Qualified Charitable Distribution from an IRA
Maximize the impact of your giving by considering a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). If you are over the age of 70 1/2, this tax-smart strategy allows you to support the Idaho Conservation League (ICL) and may provide you with valuable tax savings, making your support for Idaho Conservation even more impactful.
Consult with your financial or tax advisor about annual limitations on QCDs to ensure you make the most of this opportunity to make a difference in our environment while managing your tax liabilities.
Making a Qualified Charitable Distribution is a straightforward process that can bring both financial benefits and positive environmental impact. Contact your financial or tax adviser to initiate the process. You’ll need ICL’s tax ID: # 82-6042478
What Your Support Means to Us
Life in Idaho is special — based on clean air and water, abundant wildlife, world-class recreation, and communities that support each other. Yet Idaho is changing fast. Every day, pristine habitat and wild places are being lost forever. The environmental safeguards we used to take for granted—like the Clean Water Act—have been undermined, putting more pressure on local communities. The Idaho Conservation League knows how to succeed in protecting Idaho’s environment, and has done so over the past 50 years, but we can only do it with your support. Please support our work today, and help ensure that the Idaho way of life stays special for now and future generations.
