Offsetting with Stock and Mutual Funds
At COTAP.org/Stock, you can now donate stocks and mutual funds via our partnership with Every.org. Offset evenly to all projects, to one specific project, a custom mix of projects, or you can even donate stock/mutual funds to support our operations and expansion. We also accept donations from donor-advised funds (DAF’s) and donations of cryptocurrency, automobiles, and other vehicles…
Updates to Euro, GBP, & Monthly Options
Euro and Pound pricing are now updated to €22.50 and £20.25 per tonne, respectively. As before, €/£ pricing and margins are subject to change and are more “padded” in order to guard against unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations. Regardless of currency, projects receive $20.25 per tonne for offsetting donations, and $12.15+ per tonne in community income. Also, our monthly offset subscription is back with a minimum of 2 tonnes per month and is credit card only until our PayPal monthly option gets fixed.
Private Jet Calculator
Not unlike our rationale for accepting cryptocurrency, COTAP doesn’t defend, promote, or otherwise enable private aviation. More on our rationale and position, and the calculator itself, can be found here.
