Over 50,000 individuals made gifts in support of Earthwatch over the past year. Large and small, these gifts are vital to our continued success.
While most gifts come in the form of cash via check or credit card, many have found that time spent considering WHAT to give as well as WHEN and HOW to structure their contributions can help them make more meaningful gifts while meeting personal financial goals as well.
In partnership with our development office, you can:
- Discover ways to make larger gifts than you may have thought possible.
- Learn how to make gifts that actually "give back" for a time, providing extra income in retirement years or helping to fund elder care, educational expenses and other needs of loved ones.
- Add special meaning to your gift by making a gift that honors a special friend or loved one.
- See how to save money on income, gift, and estate taxes and instead put those amounts to use in ways you choose.
- Enjoy giving more, knowing that you're giving the most you can at the lowest possible cost.
That's what effective gift planning is all about. Please see below to learn about some of the ways you can build a lasting partnership with Earthwatch, or feel free to call Barbara Erickson, our Chief Development Officer, at 978-450-1210.
