Greetings,

Today is Stock Monday!! Many of our dedicated supporters, like you, are making the most of their end-of-year donations by giving stock and making a big impact on all the causes they care about, while saving money in the process!

It is one of the smartest ways to give and it benefits you while protecting elephants. Here’s why:

You can save on taxes. When you donate your appreciated assets, you avoid paying capital gains tax. If you itemize deductions, you can also take a charitable deduction for the entire donation amount.

For your gift to be eligible for your 2022 tax return, you must give by December 31, 2022.

Jumpstart your end-of-year giving by celebrating Stock Monday — and maximize your impact for building a world where elephants thrive, while minimizing your tax burden.

Warm Wishes,
Deborah Olson
Executive Director

Join us tomorrow for Coffee,Cocktails & Conservation! We wanted to celebrate Giving Tuesday with you, having informal dialogues about elephants, conservation, IEF, and more. Join us for one event or both:

Coffee with IEF: 8am PST/10am CST/11am EST
Happy Hour with IEF: 4pm PST/ 6pm CST/ 7pm EST

In the morning we’ll be chatting with special guests about living and working in Kenya, how you can get involved, and the global governmental policies about elephants with the recently completed the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) meeting in Panama.

In the evening, grab your beverage of choice and join us to talk about elephant care and welfare, training, and the connection between elephants and marine mammals.

Each session is FREE to attend! Pour a cup or glass and hop on. Sign up here for the Zoom link!
