Give Wisely

• You direct distributions in the amount of your choosing, up to an annual limit set by the IRA, from your traditional or Roth IRA to TNC (other types of retirement plans are not covered by the law).
• The distributions go directly to TNC and are not subject to federal income tax.

Please note: If you are still working and contributing to a retirement account, this gift could impact your taxable income. Please consult a qualified advisor before making a gift. If you’re under the age of 70 1/2, you can use your IRA to support TNC’s work by making a withdrawal and donating the proceeds after taxes OR by designating TNC as a beneficiary of your retirement plan.

• If you’re 73 or older, your gift may be used to satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD).
• You may avoid the income tax penalty on your distributions.
• You have the satisfaction of seeing your gift immediately support critical conservation work.

Contact your IRA custodian and ask them to send the check for a "qualified charitable distribution" to The Nature Conservancy to the attention of the Treasury IRA at the following address:

The Nature Conservancy, attn: Treasury IRA
4245 North Fairfax Drive Ste. 100
Arlington, VA 22203

Please request that your IRA custodian reference your name and address if possible. If you have questions about a gift from your IRA that has already been made, please contact our Member Care team at (800) 628-6860 or [email protected].
