The Ecological Gifts Program (Ecogifts) offers significant income tax benefits to those who donate ecologically sensitive land or a conservation easement to qualified conservation organizations – like the Nature Trust.
Donors of Ecogifts receive a tax credit that can be ‘carried forward’ for up to ten years, and there is no limit to the total value of Ecogift donations eligible for credit in a given year (unlike other charitable gifts). Additionally, donors receive reduction or elimination of their capital gains tax.
The Nature Trust will ensure that your land’s biodiversity and environmental heritage are conserved in perpetuity.
