immediate or long-term — makes a lasting difference

Checks made payable to PHA Pterocarpus Forest, Inc. may be mailed to our administrative address. Please include your contact information so we can send a receipt for your records.
Matching Gifts
Many employers will match charitable contributions made by employees — sometimes doubling or even tripling your gi!. Check with your HR department and submit our organization information to maximize your impact.
IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions
If you have a federal Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you may be able to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly to the Forest. Individuals age 70½ or older can transfer up to the applicable annual limit from their IRA to a qualified charity without including the amount in federal taxable income. Puerto Rico residents holding local PR IRAs should consult their tax advisor.

Appreciated Stock & Securities
Donating appreciated stocks or mutual funds allows you to avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a deduction for the full fair-market value. This is often one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. Contact us for wire transfer instructions.
Legacy & Planned Gifts — Bequests & Wills
A bequest in your will or trust is one of the most powerful ways to ensure the Forest endures for future generations. You can designate a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a particular asset. Legacy gifts of any size are honored and deeply meaningful to our community.
