Give by mail, from your IRA, or in your will.
Not every gift belongs on a credit card. These three routes are often the most tax-efficient ways to give — and for many donors, the most meaningful.
Give by check
Prefer to send a check? Make it payable to TerraClear Foundation and mail it to:
2734 Winding Brook Dr.
Austin, TX 78748
- Add a note if you'd like your gift directed to TerraKids or TerraCare, or leave it blank to let us prioritize as needed.
- Include your email and we'll send your tax receipt electronically.
Questions about a mailed gift? Dawn Lewis, our Executive Director, is happy to help.
IRA & RMD giving
If you're 70½ or older, you can give directly from a traditional IRA through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).
EIN 85-3275435
2734 Winding Brook Dr.
Austin, TX 78748
Starting a QCD? Dawn Lewis, our Executive Director, can walk you through it.
Please let Dawn know your gift is on the way — custodian checks often arrive with no donor name attached, and we want to thank and receipt you properly. TerraClear Foundation does not provide tax or legal advice; please confirm details with your own advisor.
Legacy & estate gifts
A gift in your will or trust costs nothing today and can keep clean water flowing to Lao families for years after you're gone.
Name us as a beneficiary. Adding TerraClear Foundation as a beneficiary on an IRA, 401(k), or life insurance policy takes a single form and no attorney. Retirement assets left to a charity also avoid the income tax your heirs would otherwise owe on them.
Talk it through with Dawn. Dawn Lewis, our Executive Director, handles legacy and estate giving conversations personally — no pressure, no obligation.
If you've already included TerraClear Foundation in your plans, we'd love to know — it helps us plan responsibly, and we'd like to thank you. TerraClear Foundation does not provide tax or legal advice; please consult your own attorney or advisor.
