​Stocks, mutual funds, & bonds

Making a gift of stocks, mutual funds or bonds can provide you with a double tax benefit. When you give these types of securities to AVLT, you avoid capital gains taxes on the increased value and also receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value of your gift.

​Retirement accounts

Passing retirement account assets to your heirs can trigger significant income taxes and estate taxes. Designating the AVLT as the beneficiary of all or a part of your retirement accounts may be a way to reduce or eliminate these tax obligations and ensure your money supports a cause you care about.

Historic barn at Coffman Ranch in Carbondale Colorado


Conserve Coffman Ranch

Help us raise $14 million to purchase, save, and manage the historic Coffman Ranch near Carbondale. You can help ensure this beloved ranch remains green, vibrant, and a community asset for all. Future plans include maintenance of existing ranching operations, habitat protection and enhancement along nearly a mile of Gold Medal waters of the Roaring Fork River, community access to the river, and a place for outdoor education.

Change young lives through outdoor education


Your gift to AVLT’s Community Education Fund will create more opportunities for kids to learn and connect outdoors on conserved lands. From Chapin Wright Marble Basecamp to the Silt River Preserve to Coffman Ranch, we need your help to bring these experiences to the youth of our valleys and guarantee that we will be there to support our schools and youth groups with inspiring places to grow for years to come.

Support river ​restoration

Your donation to the Hause Family River, Riparian, and Restoration (R3) Fund helps build momentum for river protection and restoration projects on the Roaring Fork and Crystal Rivers that make a difference to your watershed, wildlife, and community. This fund is currently supporting restoration along a half-mile of the Crystal River at Riverfront Park in Carbondale, and has previously supported student-led riparian restoration at the Colorado Rocky Mountain School.

Help farmers and ranchers do the right thing

Your gift to the Lathrop Strang Memorial Fund makes it possible for land-rich, cash-strapped ranching families to protect their land, guaranteeing they will continue to care for it and protect it from subdivision or development. Often it only takes a small contribution to make land conservation an option for these families by helping to cover some of the initial costs of exploring conservation, so every dollar counts.
