Other Ways to Give

We offer several tools to help maximize your donation’s impact on central South Carolina's land conservation.

  1. IRA Giving
    Ask your financial advisor if a gift from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is the right decision for you.
  2. Gifts of Stock
    Gifts of appreciated stock are an easy and beneficial way to make a donation to support CLT. You receive credit for the full market value of the gift, and you avoid capital-gains tax.
  3. Planned Gifts
    Making a planned gift to CLT leaves a lasting impact, while maximizing the financial rewards of your philanthropy. Learn more here.
  4. Employer Matching
    Many business and corporations will match charitable contributions made by their employees, board members, or retirees. Ask your employer if they match!
  5. Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)
    Recommend a grant by contacting your financial institution or fund manager letting them know how much you would like to donate. The grant will come directly to CLT.
  6. Gifts of Land
    You can protect the conservation value of your property with an outright land donation, which can provide substantial income tax deductions and estate tax benefits, while avoiding any capital gains taxes that would have resulted from selling the property. 
  7. Legacy Gifts
    Pay tribute to family and friends through a memorial or honorary gift to Congaree Land Trust. Your gift will leave a legacy for that special person by protecting the natural, historic, scenic and recreational resources in central South Carolina for generations to come.
