• 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.

Golf Carts
Agassiz Village’s campus is expansive, and we understand that some guests may have difficulty traversing the entire campus during our 90th Celebration Weekend. Therefore, we recommend individuals rent their own golf carts to bring to camp for the weekend. Please note, however, that an individual renting a golf cart assumes all responsibility for its care and return to the rental agency. Agassiz Village will not be held responsible for any damages incurred to the vehicle, or any accidents involving other guests. Due to the number of anticipated guests for the weekend, a strict speed limit for all golf carts will be enforced.
Unfortunately, for insurance purposes, Agassiz Village golf carts can only be driven by authorized and insured agents of Agassiz Village.
