Ways to Give
Recurring or One-time Gifts
The easiest and most efficient way for employees to support My Giving Helps is through recurring payroll deductions. You specify how much to pledge each week or month, and we’ll take it from there! Pledging even a few dollars from each payroll cycle can make an immense impact over the course of the year Set up your recurring payroll deductions or make a one-time gift today.
Additional Ways to Give and Planned Giving
There are many other beneficial ways to support Mass General including donations from a donor-advised fund (DAF), donations from your individual retirement account, or contributions of stocks or bonds.
By naming the hospital as a beneficiary of a will, establishing a charitable gift annuity or creating an endowed fund as part of a planned gift, many donors are fueling medical advances that will benefit their children, grandchildren and beyond.
