There are many ways to support climate science.

We are very grateful to our financial supporters who make outright cash gifts. Additionally, there are many other ways to support our mission.

SHOP WITH AMAZON SMILE

Visit smile.amazon.com and select Woodwell Climate Research Center as your charitable organization of choice. Amazon will donate 0.5% of the proceeds to Woodwell Climate when you use the Amazon Smile link.

TURN YOUR CAR INTO A CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTION

Vehicle donations are tax deductible and benefit our mission. It’s more than cars—you can donate trucks, boats, planes, motorcycles, RVs and heavy farm equipment too, running or not.

INCLUDE WOODWELL CLIMATE IN YOUR WILL OR ESTATE PLANS

Good estate planning could enable you to make a larger charitable gift than you ever thought possible. There are a variety of legacy giving structures available to donors that combine your philanthropic interests with your financial needs and tax-planning strategies.

MULTIPLY YOUR GIVING

Does your employer match your charitable contributions? Gifts to the Center can often be doubled or tripled in size via a donor’s employer matching gift program. Ask your employer if they have a matching gift program.

MAKE A GIFT OF SECURITIES OR REAL ESTATE

You may realize significant tax advantages by supporting Woodwell Climate via these methods.

CONTRIBUTE FROM YOUR IRA TAX- FREE

Donors age 70 1/2 and older with traditional IRAs can benefit from making an IRA gift. This kind of gift is usually 100% tax-free, and allows you to support Woodwell Climate without increasing your taxable income. For donors age 72 and older, an IRA gift can also count toward your Required Minimum Distribution without the taxes associated with regular IRA withdrawals.
