Why Donate Stock Directly to Amazon Conservation?

Donating stock to Amazon Conservation can be a highly effective and tax-efficient way to support our work to keep the Amazon thriving. Direct stock donations can maximize your tax benefits as you can avoid capital gains taxes, which can be a significant savings compared to selling the stock first and then donating the proceeds. For the donation of stock that you have held for more than one year, you may also be able to deduct the full fair market value of the stock at the time of the donation, providing a larger tax benefit than cash donations in many cases.

Stock donations are also a great way to diversify your giving as well as simplify or rebalance your investment portfolio while avoiding potential tax liabilities. We partner with a platform called The Giving Block to provide the easy stock donation tool below that enables you to transfer stock quickly and receive your tax acknowledgement directly from The Giving Block.

Donating stock aligns well with the goals of sustainability and long-term planning. Your support helps Amazon conservation implement strategic conservation programs, including science and innovation, climate-smart initiatives to stop deforestation, and sustainable forest conservation. Stock donations can also be part of a planned giving strategy, allowing donors to leave a meaningful legacy for the Amazon that ensures that future generations can benefit from a thriving, resilient forest.
