• 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.
Welcome Home!
Whether you spent one summer at Agassiz Village or twenty, camp means something very different and very special to each of us. Staying connected with camp throughout your life is a wonderful thing and these days it is easier than ever! Everyone is automatically a member of the Alumni and Friends of Agassiz Village Society, and our alumni committee works to make that experience as impactful as possible.
Join the Alumni Committee
The alumni committee creates opportunities for Agassiz Village Alumni of all ages to celebrate the lifelong impact that Agassiz Village has on its youth and staff and furthers the goals, values, and sustainability of camp. Do you want to be a part of the Agassiz Village Alumni Committee? Are you interested in helping plan reunion events, social opportunities, write the newsletter, or any other idea you might have to improve our community?? You’re hired!

Attend Alumni Volunteer Weekend
Join us this spring or fall for our annual alumni volunteer weekend at Agassiz Village in Maine. You’ll help us make improvements to camp for the next generation of campers.
