• Gifts of Cash: The CARES Act allows taxpayers who take the standard deduction to make up to $300 of charitable contributions to qualified charities. Itemizers can deduct up to 100% of adjusted gross income. As of now, this only applies to 2020.
• Stock or Securities: Make a gift of stock or securities to Agassiz Village and avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation of your stock. Please call Lisa Carter, Executive Director, at 781-860-0200 ext.1006 to make your stock gift.
• Individual Retirement Account: If you or a family member are 70½ or older with an individual retirement account (IRA), you can make a tax-free gift to Agassiz Village directly from your IRA. This is called a qualified charitable distribution. Through the SECURE Act you can transfer any amount up to $100,000 per year directly to a qualified charitable organization without paying income tax on the distribution.
• Donor-Advised Funds: Give through your donor-advised fund to maximize your impact. Your fund sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts.
AV WISH LIST
Preparing Agassiz Village for camp each summer requires more than setting up cabins and tending to the grounds of the campus.
It requires checking to ensure that we have the materials and equipment needed to provide our kids with an unforgettable experience.
Each summer, we go through a variety of items—such as arts and crafts materials like glue, pens, markers, paper, paint, and more—that need to be replenished. In addition, equipment—such as first aid packs, floats, lights, bedding, and appliances—need to be replaced. Your donations will go a long way in helping us be ready for the new season. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
