Donor Advised Fund

Support Greenwich House by making a charitable gift through your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) today!

What are the key benefits of a Donor-Advised Fund?

Simplicity: With a donor-advised fund, you enjoy hassle-free management, as the sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts, allowing you to focus on your philanthropic goals.

Flexibility: Donor-advised funds offer the unique advantage of separating your tax deductions from your charitable decisions, giving you control over both timing and impact.

Tax Efficiency: Contributions are tax-deductible, and any investment growth within the fund is tax-free. Additionally, donating long-term appreciated securities is straightforward, helping you avoid capital gains taxes.

Family Legacy: A donor-advised fund is an exceptional way to create or continue a family tradition of giving, empowering you to leave a meaningful legacy of philanthropy for future generations.

Planned Giving

Perhaps the most meaningful way to ensure the legacy of your generous spirit is through a bequest. By including Greenwich House in your will, you help sustain our vital services and programs for future generations to come.

Beneficiary Designation

By naming Greenwich House as a beneficiary of your IRA/retirement account, life insurance policy, or financial account, you make the most tax-efficient gift you can while saving other less taxed assets for your loved ones.

Charitable Remainder Trust

If you have built a sizable estate and are looking for ways to receive reliable payments, consider a charitable remainder trust. This type of trust provides you or other named individuals with income each year for life or a period not exceeding 20 years from assets you give to the trust you create. You will receive an immediate tax deduction for part of your contribution to the trust and save on capital gains taxes when you fund it with appreciated securities. At the end of the trust term, the balance in the trust goes to Greenwich House. Please note that Greenwich House does not manage these trusts for donors.

IRA Rollover

Individuals who are 70 1/2 or older may transfer up to $105,000 a year directly from their traditional or Roth IRA to a qualified charity, such as Greenwich House. The amount of the transfer will not be included in your taxable income, and beginning in the year you turn 73, the transferred amount can count toward your required minimum distribution. (The gift cannot, however, be claimed as an income tax deduction.)

Please contact your IRA administrator to ensure they are prepared for your request.
Send your IRA administrator a letter requesting the distribution (Sample Letter to Your IRA Administrator )
Send Greenwich House a copy of your letter so that we can expect the distribution and deposit it as you have requested. Send a copy of your letter to:

The Mary Kingsbury Simkhovitch Legacy Society

The Mary Kingsbury Simkhovitch Legacy Society honors the enduring vision of our founder. In 1902, Mary Kingsbury Simkhovitch helped open the doors of Greenwich House, beginning her 44-year tenure as Executive Director. She envisioned the House as an integral, active part of neighborhood life, driving activism that addressed the most critical issues of the time—from services for immigrant families and seniors to programs focused on the arts and mental health. To ensure a second century of services that continue to address the greatest needs of our neighborhood and city, we honor Mary’s leadership with this society.

If you include Greenwich House as part of your estate or long-range financial plans—such as naming us in your will, as the beneficiary of a retirement plan, or in an insurance policy, you are eligible to become a member of the Mary K. Simkhovitch Legacy Society.

We acknowledge your thoughtful gesture with your name engraved on our beautiful Legacy Society plaque in the lobby of 27 Barrow Street. (Please note: this recognition is optional; you may remain anonymous if you choose).
