Other Ways to Support Bikepacking Roots

Below are a few other common ways that you can support Bikepacking Roots. If you want to discuss any of these or have other partnership ideas, please reach out at [email protected]. We would love your support in any form.

Donating Stock:

Did you know that when you donate appreciated stock, you may avoid the tax on the gain while deducting 100% of the value of the contribution? That makes stock gifting one of the most tax-advantaged ways to give. And when you donate stock, we get to keep the proceeds that would have gone to pay taxes – it’s a win-win for you and us!

And now it’s fast, safe, and free to donate stock to Bikepacking Roots.

We have partnered with DonateStock.com to enable our supporters to make stock donations in 10 minutes or less. By clicking on the DonateStock button below, you can initiate a stock gift from your brokerage through a secure portal in minutes at no cost to you.

So, remember, charitable giving doesn’t always mean cash. By gifting stock, your support will have an even greater impact — without denting your pocketbook.

This year give smart and save more by putting stock in something that matters.

Donor Advised Funds:

A donor-advised fund (DAF) provides donors with a centralized charitable giving vehicle. It allows philanthropically inclined individuals, families, and corporations to make an irrevocable charitable gift to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program and take an immediate tax deduction.

If you have a DAF, you can recommend a grant to Bikepacking Roots. When making your grant recommendation, please provide your name, your mailing address, grant amount, and Bikepacking Roots EIN # 81-2622394.

Employer Giving & Match Programs:

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Bikepacking Roots is eligible to participate in many company matching gift programs. An employer will often match dollar-for-dollar, double, or even triple employee contributions.

Employers will either provide a matching gift form or have an online portal to process the match; please follow your employers’ procedures.

IRAs and Qualified Charitable Giving:

For Bikepacking Roots supporters age 70.5 or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA presents a powerful way to support our work, all while receiving great tax benefits. Whether or not you itemize deductions, a QCD from your IRA is always tax-free.
