Ways to Give

Opportunities to support Newton-Wellesley Hospital are described below.

Donor Advised Funds

Donor Advised Funds are an increasingly popular way to make a charitable gift and can provide you with immediate tax benefits while simplifying your charitable giving.

Contributions are tax-deductible and your investments in a DAF can appreciate tax free. You receive an immediate income tax deduction in the year you contribute to your DAF. Additionally, your DAF will not be subject to estate taxes. With a DAF, you get both tax benefits and the flexibility to recommend gift amount and frequency to your favorite nonprofits like Newton-Wellesley Hospital.

Here are two simple ways you can support NWH through a DAF – you can select the option that best suits your philanthropic and financial goals.

  • Make an outright gift by suggesting a grant to Newton-Wellesley.
  • Extend your support by making Newton-Wellesley a beneficiary of your account or by designating Newton-Wellesley to receive a portion of the account value upon termination of the fund.

If you include Newton-Wellesley Hospital in your plans, please let us know and use our legal name and federal tax ID.

To get started, contact your fund administrator to request a distribution or beneficiary form, or log into your administrator’s website to suggest a grant. Make sure to enter the amount, frequency, and designation and complete other required steps.
