SAMISH ISLAND CAMPGROUND

Become a Pledge Member

Why Pledge? We are asking you, our members and contributors, to consider making a pledge to Camp Samish so that we might be able to predict our fund raising, and better plan phasing for our construction projects. Projects are built as funds become available. If we know when money will be available, we can schedule our construction projects more efficiently. The longer we wait to build, the more expensive the projects become.

You may use a Stock Donation to the Development Program. The stock is donated at the current appreciated value with no capital gains tax due to the IRS on the increased value of the stock. The full current value of the stock is used to reduce your adjusted gross income on your tax return - thus reducing the income tax you pay for the year of the donation. (Stock donations are limited to 50% of adjusted gross income - any amount over 50% is carried over to the next tax year)

The advantage for you is that you can give more then if you make a cash donation plus the tax write off.

You can also plan to include the Samish Campground in your estate planning.

Donate Equipment

We are asking you, our members and contributors, to consider making a donation of equipment and tools to Camp Samish. Many of our volunteer workers are from Canada, and it is difficult for them to transport their own personal tools across the US/CAN border. By having tools at the campground, more volunteers can participate. We are also looking for donations of specific equipment. Dewalt quality or better power tools. Craftsman quality or better sockets. Contact the Camp Managers if you wish to donate tools or money for tools. Please see the list below for requested items:
