Get Involved
Support the Conservancy
As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the Mathews Land Conservancy relies solely on private donations, grants and use fees for operations as well as property maintenance and improvements and project construction. No local tax dollars are received from the County of Mathews.
We work hard to be a responsive steward of your donation dollars. As you contemplate your charitable giving, remember there are many ways you can contribute to the Mathews Land Conservancy — and meet your personal philanthropic goals.
Support MLC in the way that’s right for you.
Become a friend of the Mathews Land Conservancy
Make a one-time, monthly or annual gift to continually support Mathews’ waterfront public access locations for everyone.
Donate Stock & Securities
Donating stocks and appreciated securities is an excellent tax strategy for charitable giving. You can receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of the shares you give to the Mathews Land Conservancy, and usually avoid all or part of any capital gains tax.
Legacy Giving
Do you want providing access to the waterways of Mathews County to be a part of your legacy? The Mathews Land Conservancy offers you a unique opportunity to create a lasting legacy to preserve the waterfront views for future generations through your estate plans.

Donate Land/Personal Property
A donation of land, cars, boats, etc. can have significant tax benefits.
