It is extremely important that donors take the following steps to make sure incoming stock transfers are properly attributed to them:

- Donors or their brokers should inform Riverkeeper of the impending gift, including the type of securities and the number of shares being transferred.
Donate from your IRA
Are you 70.5 years or older? If you have a traditional IRA, you can donate to Riverkeeper directly from your account, tax-free by making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). Giving through your IRA can satisfy all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without counting towards your taxable income.
Please contact your IRA administrator to initiate this gift.
Contribute through your Donor Advised Fund
If you have a Donor-Advised Fund, please consider recommending a grant to Riverkeeper to immediately impact our work for the Hudson River. When you put money into your DAF you receive an immediate tax deduction, and you can give that money to one or more charities now or years in the future.
Donate your car or boat
Have an old car (or motorcycle, boat, trailer or RV) taking up space in your driveway? Vehicles for Charity can turn that car into cash to support Riverkeeper’s mission. Donate your vehicle instead of selling, trading, or storing it. Your donation is tax deductible. Just complete this online form, or call 1-866-628-2277 to complete your donation. For more info visit:
