All the Ways You Can Give NEW DRAFT

How can you advance climate solutions right now?

Make a one-time online donation, with payment options including Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Venmo, and credit/debit card.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is your personal charitable giving account that could offer immediate tax benefits.

Monthly giving is convenient and budget-friendly for you and EESI. Sustaining Partners also receive the donor-exclusive Climate Policy Insider newsletter.

Become a Friend of EESI with a gift of $1,000 or more in a year – and receive our Climate Policy Insider quarterly-ish and recordings of our Zoom calls (about twice a year) exclusively for donors).

Your gift is based on today’s value of the stock, which is likely more than when you purchased it. Gifts of stock could also help you avoid capital gains taxes.

If you are 70.5 years old or older, you may make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) of up to $111,000 annually. A QCD is a direct transfer of funds from your individual retirement account. Once you reach 73—when you must take a required minimum distribution—a QCD fulfills that requirement.
