Donate From Your IRA
Tax-free IRA gifts help ACR put Conservation Into Action. IRA owners now have the option of satisfying their required minimum distribution with an easy-to-arrange IRA gift to qualified nonprofit organizations, like Audubon Canyon Ranch.
Here’s what you need to know about IRA charitable rollover gifts:
- You must be 70½ or older when you make your gift.
- You can transfer up to $100,000 annually without triggering income tax.
- You can use your gift to satisfy some or all of your required minimum distribution.
- Your IRA custodian must make the distribution directly to the charity.
- Your IRA gift will pass to ACR tax-free, so 100% can be used to support the programs and preserves of Audubon Canyon Ranch.
Please use this sample letter to send to your IRA custodian: IRA request for distribution form

David Bouverie Scholarship Fund
The David Bouverie Scholarship Fund of Audubon Canyon Ranch provides academic scholarships to graduates of the Bouverie Junior Naturalist (Juniper) Program. It was established in memory of Phyllis Ellman, a longtime ACR Board member, supporter, “founding mother” of the Bouverie Preserve Environmental Education Program, Bouverie docent, and a member of the Quercus Quire (the ACR choir). Phyllis requested the Fund be named after David Bouverie, who talked about the need to provide financial support to motivate students with a sincere interest in higher education and the natural sciences. The Dennis and Carol Ann Rockey Fund of the Marin Community Foundation established the Fund in June of 2009 with a grant of $25,000. Since then many ACR supporters have contributed to the Fund, which has since doubled in size.
