Ways to Give
There are many ways to support Mass General and the programs and departments that are most important to you. Below are a few of the most popular options for planning a gift to Mass General:
Stock and Bonds
Giving appreciated stock that you’ve owned for more than one year is one of the most tax-advantaged ways to make a charitable gift. With careful planning, you can reduce your capital gains tax while supporting Mass General.
IRA Charitable Rollover
Here is a tax-smart way to make an impact for Mass General using your qualified retirement plan. The IRA charitable rollover (also called the qualified charitable distribution, or QCD) is a great way to make a tax-free gift to Mass General and satisfy your required minimum distribution.
Donor Advised Fund
A donor advised fund (DAF) can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier for years to come. Might a DAF be right for you? Here’s how it works.
Real Estate
A gift of real estate allows you to preserve your cash assets, receive tax and income advantages, and make a significant charitable gift to Mass General.
Life Insurance
Life insurance is a valuable asset for making a charitable gift. You can make a gift of a life insurance policy without diminishing other investments or assets earmarked for family members.
