Charitable contributions to our geographic funds are welcomed. The minimum contribution which may be made to support a project featured in one of our geographic funds is $25,000, but there is no minimum amount for contributions made directly to CRI to help support our operations and services.

CRI is a tax-exempt, non-profit conservation organization recognized by the Internal Revenue Service under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as are the intended recipient organizations of grants CRI will make from these funds. As such, charitable contributions to our geographic funds, or to CRI directly, are deductible for federal income tax purposes to the full extent provided by law.

Individuals, partnerships and corporations may also make contributions to our geographic funds in connection with various regulatory matters, including but not limited to: mitigation requirements for permit conditions; penalty settlements; natural resource damage claims; and supplemental environmental projects. You are advised to consult your legal and tax advisor concerning the deductibility of contributions made in connection with any regulatory matter.
