Support Land Acquisition
Help us buy and maintain critical conservation lands by contributing to our "Land Acquisition Fund" or our "Farmland Protection Initiative." For more information about our Land Conservation Projects, click here.  To donate on-line to these funds, see "Give On-line" below.

Give On-line
If you are already a member and wish to make an additional gift to DNRT, you can now do so “on-line” with a credit card through PayPal.  Please click the 'Donate' button below: it will take you to a PayPal page where you can enter the amount of your gift.  You do not have to have a PayPal account to donate (look for the "continue" link under the text that says "Don’t have a Paypal account?").   Please e-mail us (contact us) to let us know how you wish us to designate your gift.

Honor Someone
You may want to give a gift to DNRT to honor a friend or relative or commemorate a special event, such as a wedding or anniversary. A gift to DNRT can also be a special way to mark the passing of a loved one.

Leave a Lasting Legacy

Please consider including DNRT in your will to leave a lasting legacy for future generations. 

Donate Land
A gift of land or a conservation restriction is one of the most important gifts a landowner can make to future generations. For more information, please see Conservation Options.

Donate Stock
Making a gift of appreciated securities (stocks, bonds or mutual funds) to DNRT is easy and has special tax benefits. When contributing appreciated securities
held for more than one year:
* DNRT receives a gift equal to the market value of the securities.
* You can take a charitable tax deduction equal to the market value of the securities.
* You avoid paying any capital gains tax.
* You remove the value of the securities from your taxable estate.

Multiply your Gift with a Corporate Match

Please check with your employer to see if they offer an employee matching gift program. Donors need only obtain the appropriate forms from their employer and send them to DNRT along with or subsequent to making their gifts.

Volunteer
Helping DNRT as a volunteer is another important way that you can contribute toward preserving Dartmouth’s natural resources for future generations. Please consider joining our growing group of committed volunteers.
