Bequests and Other Planned Gifts

Northeast Arc has partnered with Crescendo® to provide supporters with information about planned giving options at ne-arc.giftlegacy.com.

While bequests through wills and trusts are the largest source of planned gifts, there are also planned giving options donors can use during their lifetimes, such as qualified charitable distributions from IRAs for people 70 1/2 years of age and older. We hope these new tools will help supporters when they discuss their financial and philanthropic goals with their legal and financial advisors.

To learn more about the types of planned gifts Northeast Arc can accept and how they support its mission, please contact Susan Ring Brown at sringbrown@ne-arc.org or call 978-924-5211.

 

Support The Learning Center Playground Project

The Need

The census at The Learning Center (TLC) for young children with Autism at Northeast Arc has doubled over the last few years.

Normal wear and tear on outdated play surfaces and structures was exacerbated last year by unusual storm-related flooding that also damaged the building. As a result, part of the existing playground is unusable and the rest is insufficient to support the emotional, cognitive and physical development of our expanded group of participants.

The Plan

We are asking for your help with a $625,000 project to replace the existing playground and to prevent future flood damage to both the building and the play area. Parents of children previously supported at TLC and other moms of children with Autism raised the first $50,000 toward the project. Our goal is to raise another $200,000 this winter to become eligible to apply for funds from two prior donors who require us to be past the 50% mark before requesting their support.

Tributes & Memorials Gifts

We can help you solve the challenge of marking a special occasion for a loved one who doesn’t want gifts! Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, holiday, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, etc., making a tribute gift to Northeast Arc in honor of your loved one’s special occasion is a touching gesture. Donate online, select “Dedicate Gift,” name the honoree, and we will send a card to the honoree notifying him or her of your kind contribution (we don’t share the amount).

Likewise, when loved ones pass away, you can continue the good work they supported by giving a memorial to Northeast Arc in their honor. Donate online and we’ll send a card to the deceased person’s family notifying them of your kind contribution in their loved one’s honor (we don’t share the amount).

The Northeast Arc Development Office will be happy to work with you and your financial advisor to create a plan that works for you; contact Paula Vrattos at 978-924-5174.
