NEW! Giving Docs is a simple, secure way to create your will and other important estate planning documents online. It’s free for Sierra Club supporters—and it only takes a few minutes to create an account and get started. You can even use Giving Docs to create your Sierra Club legacy by naming the Ohio Chapter as a beneficiary of your plans. Although this type of support isn’t required to utilize this estate planning platform, any gift is greatly appreciated.
If you are 70 ½ or older, you can make a tax-free charitable distribution directly from your IRA to support the Ohio Chapter. IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions, also referred to as Charitable IRA Rollovers or IRA QCDs, are a way to support the Sierra Club Foundation as a qualifying charity without incurring federal income tax liability.
If you are 72 or older, this can also help you to meet your required minimum distribution. These gifts must be made directly to Sierra Club Foundation for the benefit of the Ohio Chapter. More details are available from Sierra Club Foundation.
Your gift from your Donor Advised Fund will immediately be put to work protecting Ohio's environment. You can recommend a grant to Sierra Club Foundation to support the Ohio Chapter and have a positive impact on your local community and wild places. Please note that gifts from Donor Advised Funds aren’t automatically applied to the Chapter–you have to reach out to Sierra Club Foundation to share your designation to the Chapter. Easy instructions for contacting your financial institution are here.
If you have questions about giving, please contact Ericka Copeland, Chapter Director at ericka.copeland@sierraclub.org. If you'd like to cancel your monthly donations or have any other membership questions, contact Sierra Club Member Care at 415-977-5653 (available Monday-Friday, 9AM-5PM PDT).
