Ways To Give

When you make a monthly gift, you sustain core Brookline Center services, creating a steady source of critical funds that keep the Center’s doors open to all who need care. Become a monthly donor.

If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income. For those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.

With a gift of securities, you can help children, adults, and families in our community to live healthier, safer, and fuller lives. Donating stock is easy and can come with financial or tax advantages, as well as allow you to make a gift with a larger impact, at lower cost to you. Please consult your financial planner or tax advisor to learn how these advantages may apply to your circumstances.

Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information here.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used and notifies us of your intentions. Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.

Cherish a relative, friend, or colleague. Recognize an accomplishment or a milestone. Express your appreciation. When you make a donation to The Brookline Center, you can dedicate your gift in honor or memory of someone. Simply select the “Dedicate my donation” box, and you’ll be prompted to enter additional information to finish your dedication before you complete your gift.

Your gift to the The Brookline Center could be matched as much as dollar for dollar by your employer! Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees, and sometimes even by retirees and/or employees’ spouses. Please ask your company—usually your human resources or business office—if a matching gift program is available to you. If the answer is yes, please email the Center’s Development Office, or call (617) 277-8107, so that we may partner with you to increase the value of your gift.

We now accept donations of Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies! This gives us one more way to fund our work and can provide you with extra tax benefits.
