PLANNED GIVING
Below are two of the most popular options for making a planned gift to a nonprofit and charity whose cause you believe in: wills and living trusts, and beneficiary designations. The Evergreen Sustainability Alliance greatly appreciates any donations made in this manner to help you live on through our vision of the Evergreen area foothills as a place where people and organizations thrive and prosper in social, environmental, and economic harmony.
Before making a decision, please connect with your financial or legal advisor. If you include ESA in your plans, please use our legal name and federal tax ID.
Legal Name: Evergreen Sustainability Alliance
Federal Tax ID Number: 27-1759397
Wills & Living Trusts
Please use the following language when including the Evergreen Sustainability Alliance in your will: “I give (amount/percentage/asset/item) to the Evergreen Sustainability Alliance, Tax ID #27-1759397, located in Evergreen, Colorado, for the general charitable and educational purposes of the Evergreen Sustainability Alliance.”
If you already have a will and would like to add a gift to the Evergreen Sustainability Alliance, your attorney can modify it with a document called a codicil.
Beneficiary Designations
If you are not comfortable making a gift in your will, you can name the Evergreen Sustainability Alliance as a beneficiary through your IRAs or retirement plans, a life insurance policy or commercial annuities. Your retirement plan administrator, insurance company, bank or financial institution can provide the proper forms.
SHOP & GIVE BACK
Making purchases through companies that donate portions of proceeds to nonprofits is a great way to support a cause that’s close to your heart. Utilize Amazon Smile or the Benefit app when shopping online to easily donate to ESA with every purchase.
Amazon Smile
Choose the Evergreen Sustainability Alliance as your charity of choice when you shop AmazonSmile, giving a gift of 0.05% for every purchase you make.
Benefit App
Benefit is a free iPhone and Android app that allows you to shop at places like Target, Starbucks, Amazon, and many more, while giving up to 20% of every transaction back to our organization. Just shop like you normally do. When it comes time to checkout, instead of pulling out your credit card, pull out the Benefit app and purchase a digital gift card that you redeem instantly.
For instance, buy $200 worth of goods at Target, and $16 (8%) goes back to Evergreen Sustainability Alliance. It doesn’t cost you a dime beyond what you were already going to spend. It’s raising funds without fundraising!
Download the app and select Evergreen Sustainability Alliance as your chosen beneficiary to start giving today.
