More Ways to Give
A Lasting Legacy
Create your legacy for generations to come and support families in their most vulnerable years.
Donations in your will or estate are the most popular way to give legacy gifts.
You can also transform our community through a planned gift through the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts for It Takes a Village. Check out the most common types of planned gifts here.
Leaving a legacy gift has estate and tax benefits. More importantly, your gift will ensure that families are supported and that the entire community is ready to welcome them to the Village.
Please reach out to us or to your financial advisor or estate attorney for more information on supporting It Takes a Village with a planned gift.
IRAs
You can support families in your community by designating It Takes a Village through your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD).
When you direct your RMD to us, it keeps your taxable income lower and may have a positive impact on your overall tax liability.
Be sure to talk with your tax advisor to determine how best to use your RMD, while benefiting families in your community.
