Turn $50 Into $143 For Indiana’s Rare And Endangered Wildlife

The Indiana Nongame Wildlife Fund largely relies on generous donations from conservationists (like you!) and pays for the research and habitat work for Indiana’s rare and endangered species. These species are vital to our ecosystem, and our quality of life just wouldn’t be the same without the rich biodiversity around us. Donations are given either directly via mail or online, or through Indiana residents donating their state tax refunds to the fund. Thanks to a federal funding match program, every $50 donated to the fund receives an additional $93 to benefit wildlife.

Make your tax refund go further for Indiana wildlife by donating to the Indiana Nongame Wildlife Fund today.

If filing with paper forms, use Schedule 5/Schedule IN-Donate. This video outlines the steps for filling out the form. If donating through online tax programs, you will be prompted to donate at the end of filing. If filing using a tax preparer, direct your preparer to the Schedule 5/IN-Donate (also referred to as IN Schedule 5-Credits).
