• Gifts of Cash: The CARES Act allows taxpayers who take the standard deduction to make up to $300 of charitable contributions to qualified charities. Itemizers can deduct up to 100% of adjusted gross income. As of now, this only applies to 2020.
• Stock or Securities: Make a gift of stock or securities to Agassiz Village and avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation of your stock. Please call Lisa Carter, Executive Director, at 781-860-0200 ext.1006 to make your stock gift.
• Individual Retirement Account: If you or a family member are 70½ or older with an individual retirement account (IRA), you can make a tax-free gift to Agassiz Village directly from your IRA. This is called a qualified charitable distribution. Through the SECURE Act you can transfer any amount up to $100,000 per year directly to a qualified charitable organization without paying income tax on the distribution.
• Donor-Advised Funds: Give through your donor-advised fund to maximize your impact. Your fund sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts.
2025 Volunteer Weekend
Each year, it takes a village to ready Agassiz for our kids' arrival in late June. We rely on the generosity of volunteers—alumni, corporations, and friends—to help prepare our 330-acre campus for the upcoming summer sessions. Tasks include clearing brush and tree limbs, painting, building decks, moving furniture, setting up cabins, kitchen cleaning, replacing doors, redoing offices, installing appliances, landscaping, and so much more!
If you would like to volunteer to help us, please register. We promise that it will be a lot of hard work, but also a lot of fun!
SAVE THE DATE!
