Thanks to our partnership with American Friends of Canadian Conservation you can help us conserve land in B.C. with a contribution of cash or securities, and receive a tax benefit in the U.S. Through the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA), your donation will be tripled in impact through matching grants for wetlands and estuary conservation in Canada!
The process to donate is easy and quick:
- Donate online at American Friends’ secure site using a credit card to make a donation or to set up monthly giving.
- Donate stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares to American Friends to avoid U.S. capital gains taxes while receiving a tax deduction for the current value of your securities. Contact American Friends staff at 360-515-7171 or info@conservecanada.org for instructions.
- Donate via cheque:
- Mail your cheque to: American Friends of Canadian Conservation, 336 36th Street #717, Bellingham, WA 98225
- Print, fill out, sign and send a Grant Recommendation with your cheque to request that American Friends use your donation to make a grant to The Nature Trust of BC. The language in the recommendation is necessary for your gift to be tax deductible in the US.
Gifts of Land
You can conserve your Canadian property through a gift that is tax deductible in the U.S.
Before donating, familiarize yourself with the effects of Canadian taxes even if you are a U.S. taxpayer. Learn about the bi-national tax incentives by downloading Save Some Green: A Handbook for US Taxpayers from the Resources section of American Friends’ website.
