Charitable Giving

Please Give to the BWH Department of Neurosurgery

Giving matters. Without the support of our generous benefactors, our ability to treat patients, find new treatments, and educate the next generation of physicians would not be possible. Donations sustain important research, provide neurosurgical services to the needy, and support a broad spectrum of projects in the community.

There are so many ways to give to our Department, including:

• Cash contributions - Gifts made with a check or credit card immediately go to work for our Department. You can even give online.
• Securities and stocks - Enjoy the tax benefits of giving to our Department appreciated securities, mutual fund shares, and other types of property.
• Estates and bequests - A gift made through your estate and bequests will may be the best way for you to make a sizeable contribution to the hospital.
• Retirement plans - Naming BWH Department of Neurosurgery as a beneficiary of an IRA, 401(k) or 403(b) can reduce taxes -- and result in a significant gift to the Department.
• Life insurance - As with retirement assets, you can name our Department a beneficiary of your life insurance policy.
• Gifts that return income - These gifts provide a guaranteed income to a donor or beneficiary.
• Gifts-in-kind - These are donations of tangible personal property.
• Matching gifts - Your company may double your contribution to BWH Neurosurgery.
• Real estate - Transfer commercial property, a residence or other real
  estate holdings to BWH Neurosurgery.
• Tribute giving - Make a gift in honor or memory of someone special.
