Your employer may match your volunteer hours and/or cash donations, thereby doubling the positive impact your gift makes! Tampa Bay Watch will be glad to acknowledge your participation in our habitat restoration programs and assist you with any verification your employer requests.
-
Purchase a Tampa Bay Estuary specialty license plate (Tarpon Tag) or Surfing’s Evolution & Preservation Foundation tag to support important environmental work.

Stock or Mutual Fund
Tampa Bay Watch follows nonprofit fundraising standards. The valuation of the gifted shares is based upon the average price for which the stock traded on the date it was received in a Tampa Bay Watch account or when paper shares are received at our office.
-
Qualified Charitable Distribution
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70½ years old or older to donate up to $100,000 directly from an IRA. As a result, donors may avoid higher income tax brackets and prevent phaseouts of other tax deductions. Consult with your tax advisor for exceptions.
