You may contribute stocks, bonds or mutual funds and enjoy a tax deduction equal to the current market value of the donated asset, regardless of its original cost basis. This way, you benefit from your income tax deduction while the gift prevents possible capital gains tax. All gifts of securities are sold in a timely manner by HawkWatch International’s broker.

Gifts of securities may be made in three ways.
    * Through a broker
    * Via mail
    * By hand

Through a broker
A donor may direct his or her stock-broker to transfer specific securities via our agent. Please contact Emilie at 800-726-4295 x 103 for that information.  In order to recognize the donor and the gift, HawkWatch International needs to be informed directly about the transaction; otherwise, the gift will be listed as anonymous.

By mail
The certificate should be endorsed to "HawkWatch International" and signed by the owner(s) identified on the front of the certificate. No signature guarantee is necessary because a properly endorsed certificate cannot be transferred to another party. HawkWatch International forwards these gifts to its broker.

A donor may send the stock certificate via registered mail to:
HawkWatch International
2240 South 900 East
Salt Lake City, UT 84106
ph: 800-726-4295 or 801-484-6808
fx: 801-484-6810

By hand
A donor may deliver an endorsed stock certificate directly to HawkWatch International’s Salt Lake City office. Prior arrangements should be made with either Executive Director Caroline Goldman or Development Director Emilie Turner.

The donor should be sure HawkWatch International is advised of the intended purpose of the gift at the time the gift is made. HawkWatch International’s tax identification number is 85-0358519.

Workplace Giving & the Combined Federal Campaign

HawkWatch International is a member of the Independent Charities of America, and a proud participant in the Combined Federal Campaign. HawkWatch International’s CFC Number is 11899, or you can ask your employer for more information on how to contribute.

HawkWatch International has received the Independent Charities Seal of Excellence, awarded to the members of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America that have demonstrated to meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.

Honor & Memorial Gifts

HawkWatch International’s memorial program was created for those who wish to remember or honor loved ones who have enjoyed a deep personal connection to birds of prey, or HawkWatch International specifically.

•    Gifts are acknowledged to the donor as well as to a family member or honoree as requested.
•    New memorial names are listed in HWI quarterly newsletter, RaptorWatch, for one year.
•    If the family desires, HWI will print a Memorial or “In Honor of” in RaptorWatch with a photograph of the family’s choosing.

When giving online, you will find a space to include the memorial name. Please email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it to indicate the family member or honoree you would like notified of your gift, or call her at 800-726-4295 x 101.
