Ways
to Give
Gifts to the Clean Wisconsin can be made in a number of ways.
The simplest method is a cash donation, however other gifts
can provide you with a creative and tax advantaged donation.
Cash
Gifts of cash are the most common form of gift to the Clean
Wisconsin. A cash gift is easy, and is not subject to estate
taxation. Contributions postmarked by December 31st are deductible
for the tax year even if received by Clean Wisconsin in January.
A cash gift entitles you to a charitable deduction of up to
50% of adjusted gross income. If all deductible gifts exceed
the 50% limitation, you may carry over the excess amount for
up to five years.
Cash gifts made by credit card can be made by clicking this

Matching Gifts
Make your gift to Clean Wisconsin go farther. Many employers
will match the charitable contributions of their employees.
Ask your company’s human resources representative if
such a program exists where you work. If so, ask for a matching
gift form, fill out your portion, and enclose it with your
gift to Clean Wisconsin. We’ll take care of the rest!
Host a House Party
With a bit of time and your Rolodex, you can have a big impact
on Clean Wisconsin by hosting a fundraiser. Member-sponsored
house parties help us raise much needed general operating funds
to support clean water, clean air, and clean energy programs.
In addition to raising money, these statewide events are excellent
opportunities for Clean Wisconsin members, staff and board
to mingle and hear personal stories of why protecting Wisconsin’s
special places is so important to you.
If you are interested in hosting a Clean Wisconsin fundraiser
in your home please contact Becky Weber, at 608-251-7020 x
17 or beweber@cleanwisconsin.org.
Gifts of Appreciated Securities
Gifts of appreciated stocks often create a win-win situation,
the donor has the opportunity to avoid potential capital gains
and receive a charitable deduction for the fair market value
of the securities.
Securing the Future
Not everyone can be a major donor during their lifetime. Most
of us need our current assets to provide for ourselves and
our families. At our death however, most of us can provide
major support to Clean Wisconsin in a number of ways. If the
mission of Clean Wisconsin is something you would like to support
after your death, allow us to show you several different options.
If you are interested in giving opportunities, please contact
Becky Weber, at 608-251-7020, x 17 or beweber@cleanwisconsin.org.
Memorial Gifts
Remembering a friend or loved one who has died by making a
donation in their name is a wonderful tribute to their memory.
