Want to reduce your taxable income for the year? Anyone 70 ½ or older can support Vermont’s rivers via a tax-free charitable individual retirement account (IRA) rollover. This counts toward your annual minimum distribution.
For example, if you’re not needing income from your IRA, you might choose to gift a portion of your required minimum distribution up to $100,000, and thus reduce your tax liability for the year. Unlike usual IRA distributions, IRA donations directly to Vermont River Conservancy are not taxed. Consult a tax advisor to discuss specific tax benefits.

We rely on the financial support of individuals, businesses, and grants. Every dollar you donate helps support our work to protect miles of waterways and acres of land — from mountain streams and free-flowing rivers, to rural swimming holes and urban oases.
All donors share in the satisfaction of protecting special lands, and are part of our community of people who protect the places they love. Every gift, regardless of size, makes a difference for Vermont’s rivers.
Over nearly three decades, we have worked with people on nearly every river in the state to protect and restore the places where rivers are most likely to meander and overflow during floods.
