From Jane Clark:
Some of you have asked how to contribute to Iowa Sierra Club to help meet
Greg Nepstad's challenge. Here is that information.
CONTRIBUTE TO IOWA CHAPTER SUPPORT IN 2003!
There are three ways to contribute to Sierra Club, Iowa Chapter.
Non-Tax Deductible
Because we try to shape the political process of our nation and state on the
side of nature in matters affecting the environment, the Sierra Club is an
IRS 501(c)4, not for profit, non-charitable organization, meaning that
donors to the Sierra Club in this category do not receive a tax deduction
for their contributions. These contributions and gifts to the Sierra Club
are not tax-deductible; they support our effective, citizen-based advocacy
and lobbying programs. We have confidence that it is worth some investment,
sans tax benefit, for the Iowa Chapter to collectively exercise political
muscle in our own legislature. Indeed, we think it is absolutely necessary.
Make checks payable to: Sierra Club Iowa Chapter
(in support of advocacy and legislative efforts and is not tax-deductible)
Tax Deductible
The Sierra Club Foundation is an IRS 501(c)3, not for profit, charitable
organization and all contributions to The Sierra Club Foundation are tax
deductible. These activities are limited to public interest education,
research, and legal actions. Iowa Chapter does maintain an account with The
Sierra Club Foundation from which we may draw for the above listed
activities. Our chapter newsletter is partially funded in this manner, and
we leverage some of these funds with other environmental groups in Iowa.
Make checks payable to: The Sierra Club Foundation
(mark "Iowa Chapter Account" in the memo line on the bottom of the check)
FRENCH CREEK DEFENSE
You may wish to contribute to the French Creek Defense Fund, which is tax
deductible.
Make checks payable to: The Sierra Club Foundation
(mark "Iowa Chapter French Creek Account" in the memo line of your check)
( ) For donations of $100.00 or more, we will send you the recently
published Sierra Club Travel Guide: Adventuring along the Lewis and Clark
Trail by Elizabeth Grossman.
( ) For donations of $50.00 or more, we will send you the Loess Hills
Audubon Guide to Birds in the Siouxland region of Iowa.
Please indicate your selection of contribution preference on this form
and mail in the enclosed envelope with your check to:
