Stocks or IRA Giving
Gifts of stocks, mutual funds, or funds distributed from an IRA can be meaningful ways to support our work while sharing resources you’ve set aside over time. Contributing appreciated stock allows you to give its full value directly to the mission you care about, and gifts from an IRA can also be directed to support our efforts.
Please contact our development team, Sadie Blanco, at sadie@newenglandinnocence.org or call 617-249-4605 for more information or upon making a stock transaction, so we can provide a tax receipt for your records once the stock has been received.
