Leadership Institute

Donor Program

Invest in a Sustainable Future. You can make a difference.

Your contribution will help continue the work of the Institute and it can help build an endowment for a financially sustainable future.

In addition to cash, the Institute accepts contributions of stocks, bonds, mutual fund shares, and other securities. The Institute has a brokerage account at Scottrade where your securities can be accepted. If you prefer, you can make your contribution of cash or securities to the Leadership Institute for Ecology and the Economy Fund at the Community Foundation Sonoma County.

Register for a CommunitySmart card and support the Leadership Institute through your purchases at participating local merchants.

Save on both income tax and capital gains tax by making a contribution of appreciated securities. For specific advice regarding the benefits you will derive from charitable giving, check with your tax advisor.

Create your personal legacy for a sustainable future by including the Institute as a beneficiary:

in your will or living trust
in your retirement plan or bank account
in a charitable remainder trust
in your life insurance policy

For help in making a gift of securities, contact your stock broker, or call us and we'll put you in touch with our representatives at Scottrade or the Community Foundation Sonoma County.
