Ways to Give
Your support makes all the difference
Philanthropy is one of the oldest traditions at NEHGS. To continue to be the leading nonprofit genealogical institution in the country, we rely on the generosity of donors to help us fulfill our vision to further the study of family history by educating, inspiring, and connecting people through our scholarship, collections, and expertise.
To help make giving both easy and efficient, NEHGS offers many ways you can support the Society:
Give NowONLINE
Safe and secure online giving is our fastest growing way of supporting NEHGS. Whether donating to the Annual Fund or a specific project, or simply making a pledge payment, our web site accepts all major credit cards.
CHECK/CASH
Please make checks payable to:
New England Historic Genealogical Society
Development Office

APPRECIATED SECURITIES
One of the many preferred giving options is transfer appreciated securities to NEHGS. In most cases, donors can claim full present value as a tax-deduction while avoiding capital gains taxes.
To make a gift of this type, please contact Ted MacMahon, Senior Gift Planning Officer at tmacmahon@nehgs.org. To have Ted call you at a convenient time for you, please go to www.meetme.so/tedm.
PLEDGES
Making a pledge to NEHGS often enables you to make a larger gift over time. To make a pledge, please contact the Development Team at development@nehgs.org or 617-226-1215.
MATCHING GIFTS
You may be able to double your gift through a matching gift program available through your former or current employer. Contact your Human Resource Department to check for eligibility.
PLANNED GIFTS
Many planned gifts, such as charitable gift annuities or remainder trusts, can often increase annual income tax savings.
For more information, please contact Ted MacMahon, Senior Gift Planning Officer at tmacmahon@nehgs.org. To have Ted call you at a convenient time for you, please go to www.meetme.so/tedm.
