For more than 32 years, SFCT has successfully protected open space, wildlife habitat, scenic views, waterways, cultural resources, and recreational access.  As a land trust, our primary focus is, and always will be, preserving important lands forever.

But to ensure the long-term protection of these significant places, we need to make certain that the next generation cares about them as much as we do.  SFCT works to get people of all ages outside, hiking on our amazing trail system, learning about wildlife, plants, and cultural history, and understanding what makes this region so unique.  Building a strong connection to nature is essential for young people, since the more they learn to love it, the more they’ll act to save it!

When you make a gift to SFCT, you are making a meaningful and long-lasting investment in northern New Mexico’s scenic lands and open spaces.  Here are some of the ways to make a difference:

• Outright gifts in the form of cash, checks, stocks, real estate, and personal property, or pledges to be paid over one or several years.  For gifts of stock, please have your broker contact us, and we can provide them with our account information.  Make a donation now.
• Recurring monthly gifts are easier on your budget and provide reliable, steady operating support. You can make a recurring gift by selecting “Monthly” on our donation page, or you can call or mail in your credit card number to set up automatic recurring payments:

• Matching Gifts: Many companies offer their employees matching gift programs, wherein you can not only make a pretax gift to a charitable organization, but the company will match this gift with its own money.
• Gifts of time and expertise – we have numerous volunteer opportunities.

• IRA Required Minimum Distribution & Qualified Charitable Distributions:
  Did you know you can support Santa Fe Conservation Trust with a tax-smart gift from your IRA? If you are 73 or older, the IRS requires you to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your traditional IRA each year. By making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)—a direct transfer from your IRA to a qualified nonprofit like SFCT—you can satisfy your RMD while reducing your taxable income.
  Speak with your financial adviser and they will help you calculate your RMD and make a QCD with minimal effort and maximum impact.
