In-Kind Donations

We depend on donations of office equipment, furniture, current computer equipment, good quality still and video cameras, recording equipment, and other items to keep our effort running. If you can offer any of these items (or others), please contact us at culturalsurvival[at]culturalsurvival.org.

Donate Stock

Giving stock held more than 12 months offers a two-fold tax savings. First, you avoid paying capital-gains tax on the increase in value of your stock. In addition, you receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift. Subtracting the tax savings from what you originally paid for the stock can result in a gift that costs just pennies on the dollar. This is an excellent vehicle for stock that has appreciated substantially in value. Please donate stock to Fidelity Account Z70-897205 in the name of Cultural Survival. Fidelity's DTC number is 0226.

Volunteer

If you have expertise in international law, website development and maintenance, public relations, graphic arts, or nonprofit marketing and fund-raising, and if you're willing to donate your services to help Indigenous Peoples, please contact Jennifer Weston at jweston[at]culturalsurvival.org.

Donate Your Old Laptops, Cell Phones, and Cars

We work with several outside organizations who give Cultural Survival a percentage of the value of your donated items. Click here for more information.

Spread the Word

Indigenous Peoples and their issues are all but invisible to many people, and that allows governments and corporations to abuse their rights. One of the best things you can do to help Indigenous Peoples is to tell others about them. You can host a Cultural Survival house party, pass our literature to your friends, or send a link to our site. You can also use your FaceBook, MySpace, Twitter, and other social networking accounts to spread the word.

Ask Your Employer to Help

If your employer has a matching grant program, ask them to include Cultural Survival in their program and let us know that you did that. (Contact culturalsurvival[at]culturalsurvival.org).
