At the Center for Land-Based Learning, we are seeding a vision for the future of agriculture in the Golden State and, with your support, we can bring that vision to fruition.
More ways to leave your mark
There are many ways to support the mission of CLBL, and our team is eager to help you determine which gift method is the best fit for your philanthropic goals. Unrestricted gifts provide our organization with the greatest flexibility and allow us to allocate funds where needed. We ask you to consider becoming a monthly donor, or contributing an unrestricted gift in one of these ways:
Make a pledge
Support our vision for the future with a multi-year commitment to our capital campaign. When donors pledge to support us for three or more years, it provides valuable stability and revenue projections.
Donor advised funds
Giving through a donor-advised fund allows you to maximize your charitable impact while enjoying immediate tax benefits. By contributing to a DAF, you receive an immediate tax deduction now. You can also donate appreciated assets, such as stocks, to avoid capital gains taxes, growing your gift’s potential. Funds in your DAF can be invested tax-free, enabling you to give more in the future. Additionally, DAFs simplify your giving, allow for anonymity if desired, and provide an opportunity to involve family members in creating a lasting philanthropic legacy.
Workplace matching gifts
Increase your donation by using your employer’s matching gift program to support CLBL.
From your IRA
Retirees ages 70.5 and older can donate up to $100,000 tax free from an IRA each year, avoid capital gains taxes and preserve cash assets.
Donate Appreciated Securities
Contributing appreciated stocks or mutual funds directly to the Center for Land-Based Learning is a tax-efficient way to support our mission. By donating securities held for more than one year, you can avoid capital gains taxes and may be eligible for a charitable deduction equal to the fair market value of the assets. This approach allows you to make a more substantial impact without incurring additional tax liabilities.
Planned giving
Leave a legacy when you include CLBL in your will or estate plan.
