More Ways to Give

There are many ways to support WRV’s restoration work and help heal the land while building community.

SUPPORT WRV

Make a Meaningful Impact Beyond a One-Time Gift

Thank you for supporting Wildlands Restoration Volunteers and our mission to restore Colorado’s natural landscapes. Your generosity helps ensure volunteers have the tools, training, and leadership needed to care for the land and the communities that depend on it.

Beyond one-time donations, WRV offers several ways for individuals, families, and businesses to deepen their impact. From planned giving to workplace programs, these options provide meaningful opportunities to support restoration work now and into the future.

Gifts of Stock

Donating appreciated stock is a tax-efficient way to support WRV’s mission. Gifts of stock allow you to make a meaningful contribution while potentially reducing capital gains taxes.

The easiest way to make a stock gift to WRV is to have your broker electronically transfer the stock from your account to ours at Charles Schwab & Co.

Donor-Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support causes you care about. If you have a donor-advised fund, DAF Direct enables you to recommend grants to WRV directly from your DAF (as long as your sponsoring organization participates).
