When you make a U.S. tax-deductible donation to Amazon Watch, you can count on your gift being put to work to defend the rainforest and all of its biodiversity, resist destructive industries, and advance Indigenous rights and solutions for a permanently protected Amazon. Thank you!
Every donation to Amazon Watch makes a difference, and there are many ways you can support this vital work. Here are some ways to give that may be the right fit for you.
If you have questions, our team is here to support you.
Make a monthly gift for the Amazon
Monthly giving is convenient and secure, and you can make changes to your donation at any time (just email our team, we’re quick to respond!). Each month, you’ll know that you are providing sustainable support to help us accompany Indigenous Earth Defenders and respond to threats and opportunities as they arise.
Donate stock
Giving stock may have some advantages over cash donations, like avoiding capital gains tax and allowing you to claim a charitable deduction. Donating appreciated stock may even let you make a larger gift than you normally would! Here are our delivery instructions with all of the information you need.
Have your employer match your giving
Many employers have matching gift policies. Ask your employer if they’ll match your donations to Amazon Watch – our email receipts are often all you need to claim your match. Let us know if you need us to resend confirmation of your donation.
Give via Donor-Advised Fund
If you have an existing donor-advised fund, you’ve already committed to supporting charitable causes (thank you!). If your fund is hosted by Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or BNY Mellon you can recommend a gift to Amazon Watch right here. We accept donations from all donor-advised funds, so you can also follow your institution’s regular grant-making process. Our tax ID is 95-4604782.
Set up an IRA distribution
If your traditional IRA requires you to make minimum distributions, consider making a Qualified Charitable Distribution to Amazon Watch. By giving to an eligible 501(c)3 nonprofit, your donations count toward your annual required minimum distribution AND can lower your taxable income. Let us know if you have questions! We’re here to help.
Make a legacy gift for the Amazon
You can create a better future for the Amazon by making a legacy gift to Amazon Watch. There are many kinds of legacy gifts, including bequests in your will or Revocable Living Trust, or naming Amazon Watch as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, IRA, 401(k), or other qualified retirement plan, with different degrees of flexibility and tax deductions. Your financial advisor can provide personalized advice about which options are best for you, and our team is here to support you all along the way.
