Excise Tax Refund

Federal Excise Tax Refund Credit

Your tax-deductible gift to The Nature Conservancy makes a real difference for both people and nature. Being charitable may also help to reduce your tax burdens.

When you file your 2006 U.S. federal income tax return, you have an additional limited-time opportunity to help The Nature Conservancy and reduce your current year tax burden.

This year, the IRS is offering a one-time refund credit for overpayment of previously collected long distance telephone taxes. On the IRS web site, you can learn more about the Telephone Excise Tax Refund.

Please consider donating your phone excise tax refund to The Nature Conservancy. You don't have to wait for your tax refund to arrive to support The Nature Conservancy. You can make a special gift to the Conservancy now with our safe and secure online donation form.

If your business or corporation is interested in donating its phone excise tax act refund credit, please contact The Nature Conservancy's Corporate Philanthropy department.

Other Options to Consider

Please consider joining our special Friends of The Nature Conservancy monthly givers program. As a Friend, you always have control over your giving and you'll never have to worry about remembering to donate or to renew again.

Your monthly gift will provide a reliable funding source in the most convenient and cost-efficient manner possible. You can make a real difference for your finances and the Earth's last great places when you become a monthly donor now.
