Personal Investments

Personal investments are a great way to support Pines and Prairies Land Trust while taking advantage of tax benefits.

You can support us through:

  • Gifts of stock and securities

  • Fund disbursements

  • Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)

  • Donor Advised Fund (DAF) grants

Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)
If you have a Donor Advised Fund, you can recommend a grant to Pines and Prairies Land Trust at any time. DAF gifts are an easy, flexible way to support conservation - they allow you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to organizations you care about over time. Simply contact your fund sponsor and share our legal name and tax ID.

Gifts of Stock, Securities, and IRA Distributions
By transferring appreciated stocks or your mandatory IRA distribution directly to PPLT, you can help protect Central Texas lands while potentially reducing your tax burden. These gifts often allow donors to maximize impact without increasing out-of-pocket costs.
