Donations Supporting Trails Restoration, Land Preservation
and Educational Programs in Marin County

Now Fully Tax Deductible

There is now a new way to support Marin County environmental and conservation efforts and receive a tax deduction. The Sierra Club Foundation has formed a new project fund called: Sierra Club Marin Group. Donations made to the Sierra Club Foundation, with a memo entry designating the contribution for the Sierra Club Marin Group Fund, will be tax deductible and will be used at the discretion of the Executive Committee of the Marin Group for qualified activities in Marin County.

The Sierra Club Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization. This means that the Sierra Club Foundation is exempt from federal income taxes. It engages in educational, religious, scientific, or other charitable activities (environmental), and contributions or grants by individuals, foundations, or corporations to the Sierra Club Foundation are deductible for federal income tax purposes under section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Money given to the Sierra Club Foundation must only be used for charitable/educational purposes.

Some examples of qualified uses for these funds are: Conservation outreach activities; Public Education; Outings that provide significant training or learning activities; Public interest litigation; Workshops and conferences; Purchase and preservation of land, including trail maintenance.

The Marin Group is currently working on support for a trails restoration project and will be utilizing funds already donated to the Marin Group Fund of the Sierra Club Foundation. Individual contributions and voluntary donations made at our Marin Back Trails Program this past year will be supporting this project.
