As we enter the season of thanks, togetherness, and gift-giving, those of us at RENEW Wisconsin wanted to talk about that last one. As a nonprofit that focuses on policy and legislation that helps to accelerate the clean energy transition, we depend on the kindness of individuals, businesses, and a number of grants to keep the advocacy work moving.
There are several avenues we’ve made available to clean energy advocates to provide financial support (and ideally, a little tax break for you). Below is a quick breakdown of all the ways to give.
A One-Time Donation
The most straightforward way to give! We will gladly take any amount of money that you’re willing to part with to support our mission. At $50/year, you are officially an individual member, which gives you voting privileges during our annual board elections.
Sustaining Membership
Any monthly donation that totals $50/year over 12 months makes you a member. That’s as little as $5 a month — less than most places charge for a cup of coffee these days.
Stock Donations?!
It might sound crazy, but we also accept stocks. Have a junk stock that’s just not performing? Want to reduce your capital gains tax exposure? You can quickly and securely donate your stock to us. And just to be clear, we never touch the stock. When you support us through stock donations, they are immediately sold, and the funds go straight to the bank.
However you choose to give, we appreciate it — and if you can give this time, we understand. Whatever you choose to do, we have one other ask. When you’re talking with family, friends, or neighbors about what you can do to combat climate change, reduce pollution, or support our local economy, consider spreading the word about RENEW and how together we can make the clean energy revolution happen.
With Gratitude,
RENEW Wisconsin
