Ways to Support Our Work
We depend on a diverse group of foundations, businesses and individual donors to make our work possible. There are many different ways to support our work now and create a lasting legacy for the future!
Donate Online:
Visit our website to donate by credit card, show your support with merchandise or become a monthly sustainer (we’ll send you a FREE Cultivate Resistance tote bag when you sign up!).
Donate by Check:
Simply send a check to: 179 S. Winooski Ave Suite 201, Burlington VT 05401
Donate In Someone’s Honor:
Visit our website to donate by credit card. Check the box at the bottom of section two that says “Donate in someone’s honor” and fill in the honoree’s details. Both you and the honoree will receive a thank you. You can also write a check with a note explaining who you want to donate in honor of. Email us at admin@350vt.org with any questions.
Donate Stocks:
To donate stock, please email us at carter@350vt.org and we will send you the required information. Our policy is to sell the stock once received (we do not hold on to stock).
Make a Bequest:
You can create a lasting legacy and provide for 350Vermont into the future by including us as a beneficiary in your will or estate plans. A bequest is easy to arrange and is not payable until the donor passes away, so it does not affect assets or cash flow during the donor’s lifetime. It is also private and revocable, since the donor can change provisions in the will or trust at any time, and it is not made public until death.
Don’t have a will? Our friends at 350.org have set up a free service for you to write or update your will – check out FreeWill today.
If you’ve already drawn up a will, you’ll just need to file a codicil, or amendment, to it. Here are examples of language to include in your will:
Specific Bequest: “I give and bequeath to 350Vermont, 179 S. Winooski Ave Suite 201, Burlington VT 05401, the sum of $___.”
Bequest of a Percentage: “I give and bequeath ____ percent of the total value of my estate to 350Vermont, 179 S. Winooski Ave Suite 201, Burlington VT 05401…”
Bequest of Residue: “The rest, residue and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, wherever situated, I give and bequeath to 350Vermont, 179 S. Winooski Ave Suite 201, Burlington VT 05401…”
Contingent Bequest: “Should [name of person] predecease me, the portion of my estate going to [person] I give and bequeath to 350Vermont, 179 S. Winooski Ave Suite 201, Burlington VT 05401…”
In-Kind Gifts:
350Vermont can accept certain in-kind gifts of assets or property. Donors of in-kind gifts valued at $500+ will receive a formal letter of acknowledgment. The donor must fill out IRS Form 8283. For more information, please email carter@350vt.org.
