ABOUT DONATING

Maximize your impact. Join Bread & Roses in fighting food insecurity and hunger across our community. Receive tax benefits and make the most of your contribution by donating non-cash assets securely and easily here.

Maximize Your Impact

Receive tax benefits and make the most of your contribution by donating non-cash assets—it takes less than 10 minutes.

  • A contribution of stock or securities supports our mission and provides significant tax benefits for you as the donor.

    When you donate securities, you make an outsized impact without taking money directly out of your bank account. Plus, neither you nor Bread & Roses will be taxed on the gains for appreciated assets you donate.

    Easily make a stock donation in under 10 minutes on our secure partner platform here.

  • For those that are over 70 ½ years, using a traditional IRA to make a charitable donation is a smart and effective way to help others while also lowering your tax bill. Simply contact your plan administrator and tell them you would like to make a charitable donation from your IRA.

    Up to $100,000 per person can be donated to a qualified organization like Bread & Roses without incurring income tax – even if you don’t itemize your deductions.

    What’s more, if you’ve reached the age where you need to take required minimum distributions (RMDs) from your traditional IRAs, you can avoid paying taxes on them by donating that money directly to Bread & Roses.

    Easily make your IRA donation in under 10 minutes using our secure link here.

  • Another way to donate IRA assets is by naming Bread & Roses as the designated beneficiary—or one of them—of the IRA. By naming us as a beneficiary, Bread & Roses will receive a percentage of the remaining assets as set by you.

    Our Tax ID# is 04-2768119 and address is 58 Newbury Street, Lawrence MA 01840.

  • A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is like a charitable savings account.

    When you contribute to your DAF, you are generally eligible for an immediate tax deduction. Then, you can recommend grants to your favorite nonprofits, like B&R, at any time.

    Make a secure donation from you DAF to B&R in under 10 minutes using the secure link here.
