The Office of Gift Planning at Greenpeace Fund provides support for a full range of charitable gift planning options and services. Greenpeace Fund, its employees or representatives, do not offer legal or financial advice. We strongly urge prospective donors to consult with their attorney, financial advisor, estate planning professional, accountant or other appropriate professional before making any material decisions based on information we provide through this Web site, printed materials or other sources.

We welcome the opportunity to work with you in helping your clients identify tax-wise and beneficial ways to support Greenpeace Fund’s charitable non-profit mission. Please feel free to contact us directly for information or assistance on a confidential basis.

We find some our friends prefer to keep anonymity and we most honorably respect that. However, we want them to know how appreciative we are. If we could kindly ask you to please convey to your client, our warm appreciation for their kind consideration, we are truly honored to be thought of in this way.
