• 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.

Heart of the Village Capital Campaign
A Campaign to Restore Agassiz Village for Generations of Kids
Agassiz Village is in the Quiet Phase of an $8 million capital campaign to:
Develop facilities that provide youth with the safe and welcoming space they deserve that meet our current and future needs, while preserving our rich history.
Expand our program to serve more deserving campers.
Preserve our 330 acres of land and two miles of waterfront from future development and minimize our environmental impact on Thompson Lake.
Ensure financial sustainability that continues to allow us to provide financial assistance to families in need and helps us to maintain our improved facilities.

It Takes a Village. It Takes YOU!
A gift to The Heart of the Village Campaign is a gift to a child who deserves support. It’s a testament of your belief that every child is worthy to be cared for and protected. Please join us and together, we’ll be the Heart of the Village for these deserving children. For more information call Mike Smith at 781-860-0200 ext. 1007 or email msmith@agassizvillage.org.
