Workplace Giving
You can donate to the UAC through your workplace giving plan. If you do not have a workplace giving plan and would like to set one up, please contact us.
Donate Stock
When you donate shares of stock that have appreciated, you a) don't have to pay tax on any gains and b) get to deduct the entire current value of the gifted stock. And the UAC gets a donation equal to the value of your stock. Pretty sweet deal for everyone. Contact your financial advisor or email us for details.
Donor-Advised Funds (DAF)
If you have a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), you can donate directly to the UAC from your DAF. Look up the UAC using our tax ID: 87-0481453 and company name Friends of the Utah Avalanche Forecast Center. Learn more about Donor-Advised Funds.
Planned Giving

Philanthropy cannot only give you great personal satisfaction, but it can also give you a current income tax deduction, let you avoid capital gains tax, and reduce the taxes your estate may owe when you die.
