Wolves need champions. Whether you're making a gift today, thinking about your legacy, or looking for a more tax-smart way to give, there's a path that fits your situation. Every form of support has an incredible impact, as it helps us maintain the programs that keep wolves in the wild and in the public conversation
Donate Stock
Donating appreciated stock is often more tax-efficient than giving cash. If you've held securities for more than a year, you can transfer them directly to the Center, receive a deduction for the fair market value, and avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation entirely.
Donor Advised Fund
If you have a donor advised fund (also known as a DAF), you can recommend a grant to the Center directly through your fund administrator. It's a straightforward way to support wolf conservation using charitable dollars you've already set aside.
IRA Charitable Rollover (QCD)
If you're 70½ or older, you may be able to make a gift directly from your IRA to WCC in a way that offers meaningful tax advantages. It's worth talking with your financial advisor to see if a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) makes sense for your situation.
To initiate a QCD, contact your IRA administrator directly and ask them to make a distribution payable to the Wolf Conservation Center. Reach out to our development team at donate@nywolf.org with any questions.
Planned Giving
A gift through your estate or financial plan is one of the most meaningful ways to invest in the long-term survival of wolves. Bequests, charitable remainder trusts, and other planned gifts allow you to support the Center in a way that reflects your values and works within your financial picture.
Donate Goods and Services
We welcome in-kind donations of goods, equipment, and professional services that support our operations and programs. If you have something to offer, we'd love to hear from you.
