SAVE A SPOT FOR THE JAGUAR
We appreciate your support to safeguard jaguars and their habitat. There are a variety of ways to give.
MONTHLY GIVING
You can help sustain NJP’s conservation work and provide a reliable source of income with a monthly donation through our Rosette Club. Take for example: A recurring $15 donation will buy enough batteries and memory cards to power a dozen motion-triggered cameras for a year.
Stock
With your gift of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, you receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full market value and avoid capital gains on appreciation of the securities.
Workplace Giving
Many companies encourage employees to donate to tax-exempt charities by offering to match donations. This is a way to extend contributions to NJP through your workplace.
IRA Distribution
If you are age 70.5 or over, you can make a tax-free gift from your traditional IRA. As a qualified charitable distribution, this contribution would go directly from your IRA to NJP.
Wish List
You can help us keep our costs down and direct more resources toward protecting jaguars and other wildlife with an in-kind donation.
Donor Advised Funds
Contributions to a Donor Advised Fund are immediately tax deductible and can continue to grow tax free, letting your dollars have a greater impact for NJP. Donor Advised Funds accept a range of assets and are ideal if you have appreciated stocks or mutual funds, since you receive a tax deduction for the full market value and avoid capital gains.
Bequests
By including the Northern Jaguar Project (NJP) as a beneficiary in your estate plan, you help provide for the conservation of jaguars for generations to come.
Why Precise Language Matters
To ensure your final wishes are honored, it is essential that donors use precise documentation. Ambiguous or incomplete language can force a bequest into probate, where legal fees are paid directly out of your estate—reducing the impact of your gift. Furthermore, vague language can force charities to abandon a gift entirely rather than face expensive legal proceedings to claim it.
For NJP, please specify whether your gift is directed to our U.S. entity or our Mexican organization. As a general rule, directing the gift to the entity in your country of residence will minimize taxes drawn from your estate.
Suggested Language for U.S. Donors
“I give [dollar amount/percentage of my estate] to the Northern Jaguar Project (EIN 42-1554992), located at 2114 W. Grant Rd., Suite 121, Tucson, AZ 85745, for the purpose of preserving and recovering the northernmost jaguar population and its natural habitat.”
Please Note: We highly recommend consulting your attorney or tax advisor when planning a donation related to your will, living trust, retirement plan, or other form of bequest. We are always happy to respond to any questions you or your advisors may have.
Stewardship and Long-term Management Fund
As caretakers of the Northern Jaguar Reserve, we are committed to seeing this landscape become a model sanctuary, with proper surveillance and financial stability. NJP’s Stewardship and Long-term Management Fund was established to:
Sustain ongoing guardianship and maintenance
Patrol reserve lands to keep out poachers
Ensure adequate infrastructure
Monitor the ecological health of the reserve
We have teamed up with an award-winning investment firm, known for its careful planning and strategic thinking, that works with non-profit organizations and philanthropic individuals. With more than a quarter of our $2 million goal in hand, our Stewardship and Long-term Management Fund will provide a permanent source of income and create a bedrock for the reserve.
