Ways to Help

The New England Center for Children needs your help to support autism research and education. Your donation of any size will go a long way in helping us with our mission
of opening doors for children with autism and other
related disorders to bring out human potential and create productive lives.

There are many ways to give. To make a tax-deductible donation or to learn more about some unique giving options available to support autism research and education, please click one of the links below. For more information on making any of these donations, please contact Joe Ziska of NECC's Development Office at 508-481-1015 ext. 4038, or by e-mail at jziska@necc.org.

In addition to the more traditional styles of donating listed above we are also pleased to offer the following:

• Gift of Securities
  Securities that have appreciated in value and have been held for more than a year are subject to a capital gains tax. But, making a gift of those securities means eliminating the capital gains tax and allowing for a charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of the stock on the day of the gift. In addition, since the charitable deduction can be claimed against up to 30% of your adjusted gross income, any unused deductions can be carried forward over the next five years. For more information of how you can help NECC with a gift of Securities, contact RoseAnn Lovely at 508-481-1015 or by e-mail.
   
• Matching Gifts
  Many corporations and organizations have a matching gift program through which they match their employees’ and members’ donations to non-profit organizations. Ask your employer or organization leader if they offer a matching gift program. Your gift could be doubled in no time – allowing for even more support of NECC’s mission. For more information of how a matching gift can help NECC, contact RoseAnn Lovely at 508-481-1015 or by e-mail.
