Change Lives, Support
Action
YOU can help change lives by supporting
ACTION’s integrated approach to reducing
poverty. ACTION's
programs are successful because they not only
help people in emergencies, but also provide
them with access to opportunities for greater
self-sufficiency and financial security. ACTION
also collaborates with civic and business
leaders to advocate for resources that are vial
to the communities in Greater Cape Ann.
Tax Deductibility &
Confidentiality
Gifts to ACTION
are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law
and can take a variety of forms. All donor
personal contact information remains
confidential. ACTION does not sell or trade
donors' personal contact information with
anyone.
How You Can Support
ACTION
Below are the numerous ways you can help to
improve the lives of your neighbors.
■
Unrestricted
Gifts
Unrestricted gifts to the agency provide an
important and flexible resource that can be used to
respond quickly where the need is greatest.
■
Restricted
/ Designated Gifts
Restricted or designated gifts direct your support
to a specific program or project.
■
Matching Gifts
Many businesses and professional entities will
match employee gifts - in part, in whole, or
sometimes in amounts greater than the gift.
Make your gift count by talking to
your employer!
■
Memorial / Recognition Gifts
Memorials and honorariums are gifts that
celebrate the special people in your life. By donating in the name of
someone you care about,
you are
acknowledging the unique quality of a loved one’s
life, and in turn acknowledging the needs we all
have in common.
■
Pledges
Pledges
allow a donor to give a specific amount over a
period of time. Monthly, quarterly or annual pledges
allow the donor to customize
the gift
according to their ability and convenience.
■
Gifts of Securities
Donors may realize substantial tax advantages by transferring gifts of
appreciated stock to ACTION. Capital gains on the
amount of
appreciation are
avoided, and the donor receives a tax deduction
for the stock's full market value.
■
Gifts of Real Estate
Gifts of appreciated property may be donated to
ACTION. Favorable tax treatment on such a gift may
be advantageous to the donor.
■
Deferred Gifts
Deferred
gifts in the form of pooled income funds, trusts and
bequests are an important resource of private
support for ACTION and should
be arranged
with the advice of professional counsel.
■
Gifts of Cash
A
great many gifts to ACTION are made in the form of
cash. Every gift is significant and appreciated, no
matter the size.
