Ways to Give
Formed from a community effort to preserve a beloved institution, the NECC thrives today because of supporters like you. Donate today to help us continue that legacy and ensure the NECC remains a cherished institution for years to come.
Donate Your Required Minimum Distribution
Did you know that your IRA and Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) could help NECC provide programs to our community?
What’s an RMD?
This is taxable money you must withdraw each year from retirement accounts like IRAs once you reach age 72 (73 if you turned 72 in or after 2023).
Why Should I Donate My RMD?
If you have an RMD on your own account or an inherited account and you do not need the funds, donating to the NECC is a fantastic option that helps support our programs!
Your required withdrawal will be included in your taxable income and cannot be rolled into other tax-deferred accounts. However, donating your RMD is a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). Tax benefits aside, earmarking this income for charity is a great way to begin or expand your giving portfolio to support the causes you care about.

Donate Your Stocks
Did you know investments like securities and mutual funds that have increased in value and been held for more than one year are popular assets to use when planning charitable giving?
Making a gift of securities or mutual funds offers you the chance to support our work while realizing important benefits for yourself.
- Benefits of Donating Securities & Mutual Funds:
Reduce or even eliminate federal capital gains taxes on the transfer.
You may also be entitled to a federal income tax charitable deduction based on the fair market value of the securities at the time of the transfer.
As always, you should consult your CPA or attorney for tax advice.
