Make a Monthly/Recurring Gift

Monthly donors are at the heart of our long-term planning efforts. Your regular contributions help us advocate for better environmental laws, engage more school groups with hands-on educational activities, and help more communities with greening practices.

Shop on Amazon Smile

You shop. Amazon gives.

Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible Amazon Smile purchase to Blue Water Baltimore when you shop at Amazon Smile. Amazon Smile is the same Amazon you know. Same products, same prices, same service. Select Blue Water Baltimore as your charitable organization to support when you shop on Amazon.

Purchase a Wishlist Item

Blue Water Baltimore’s programs require supplies that are not always funded through grants. We’ve put together a  wishlist of supplies that make our work possible – take a look and grant our clean water wish!

Give Appreciated Securities

Appreciated securities are a gift of stocks or bonds that are (or will be) readily available. The deduction for outright gifts of appreciated long-term publicly traded securities (held more than 12 months) is equal to the fair market value of the securities on the date you relinquish control of the assets to Blue Water Baltimore. None of the appreciation is taxable for capital gains purposes.

Please note: Do not sell the stock; you must transfer the securities to Blue Water Baltimore to receive the most advantageous tax treatment.

Make a Planned Gift

Planned gifts are long-range financial contributions that can include gifts of securities or properties. They can be designated for general operations or restricted to specific projects. Bequests allow individuals to remember Blue Water Baltimore in a will or estate plan.

Consult with your financial planner or attorney on how you can make a planned gift to support our work.
