Donations
You can help TECC accomplish our goals of preserving and protecting open space in the Escondido Creek watershed by making a donation to TECC. The most common is a gift of cash and annual support. However, many of our supporters have found other creative ways to make a major gift while realizing significant benefits for themselves.
No gift is too large or too small
A gift of property can provide substantial tax benefits and can give TECC significant new capacity to carry out its land conservation programs. Real estate can be expensive to maintain or difficult to sell -- and if it has appreciated greatly in value, its sale can lead to substantial capital gains taxes. A gift of land to TECC removes a potential burden for landowners, and it gives the donor a charitable deduction for the full value of the property. Planned gifts can provide annual income to the landowner while generating a tax benefit for the landowner's estate.
Other Options- Your gift to support our valuable watershed may take many forms. More information here.We welcome your inquiry (Contact TECC ) regarding donations and estate planning. TECC can assist you in determining the most suitable option for your land preservation, financial, and estate planning objectives.
