Other Ways to Give
You can help protect wilderness for generations to come by giving to The Wilderness Society.
At The Wilderness Society, we are working to complete a system of protected wildlands in the United States and we need your help.
Your tax-deductible gift will help us continue this important land conservation work. With your gift, you are leaving behind a legacy of wilderness support and ensuring that American wildlands thrive for generations to come
Giving Through Your Will
You can support The Wilderness Society by leaving a gift through your will or estate plan.
IRA Charitable Rollover
If you have an IRA and are 70½ years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to protect the wildlands you love without it costing you more. With an IRA Charitable Rollover, you can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as The Wilderness Society without having to pay income taxes on the money.
If you’re ready to make your gift today, you can use this sample letter to request a direct charitable distribution from an individual retirement account.
Workplace Giving
Making a donation through payroll deduction is one of the easiest and cost-efficient ways to help protect wilderness.
Giving Stock
Gifts of stocks, bonds or mutual funds appreciated in value may be especially attractive to you under the current tax laws.

Contribute Mutual Fund Shares
Much like a gift of stock, mutual funds are another way that you can make a larger gift than you might ordinarily be able to give – simply by giving shares of mutual funds you've owned for more than one year.

The Legacy Roads and Trails Remediation Program (LRT) was established by Congress in 2008 to address the budgetary needs of the U.S. Forest Service's massive road and trail system, which suffers due to chronic underfunding and rising fire-fighting costs. It delivers funds to address critical road issues in real time, enabling the Forest Service to efficiently design and implement projects appropriate for the specific area and local needs.
