Ways to give
Not all children come into this world equally advantaged. Through no fault of their own, some children face significant challenges from a very young age. Please consider making a gift in support of children yearning to reach their full potential. With your help, anything and everything is possible.
Below are some of the most common methods to provide a gift to Spaulding Academy & Family Services. To discuss other ways to give, please contact our development office.
Give online

Gifts by check
Gifts by check provide flexible support to areas of greatest need, putting your investment to work immediately. Checks should be made payable to Spaulding Academy & Family Services. Click here to download the Donation by Check form
Gifts of stock
Appreciated stock or other securities may offer considerable tax benefits, entitling you to an income tax charitable deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of your gift. This allows you to give a gift that benefits Spaulding Academy & Family Services, costs you less, and may help you avoid a capital gains liability.
Matching gifts
You or your spouse/partner’s employer may offer an employee matching gift program supporting your charitable giving and increasing the value of your gift. Please check with your employer and request a matching gift form to include with your gift to Spaulding Academy & Family Services.
Gifts of goods & services
We are pleased to accept appropriate non-monetary donations. Please contact the development office in advance to confirm that Spaulding Academy & Family Services is able to accept your donation. Click here to see a few suggested items which we will accept in new and unused condition.
Tribute or memorial gifts
You may make an annual gift in memory or in honor of a loved one or to commemorate a special occasion. We will be pleased to send a card notifying the honoree or the family of your tribute gift.
Lifetime gift planning
You may include Spaulding Academy & Family Services in your lifetime charitable giving plans through a bequest, a charitable gift annuity, insurance policy, charitable trust, property or real estate, retirement assets, or other planned giving vehicles. Through careful structuring, lifetime gifts can provide a stream of income for life, create greater income than earned from holding onto an asset, or reduce capital gains or estate taxes. Because your charitable giving plans are unique and tax laws change frequently, we ask that you contact us to begin a confidential conversation.
Your support makes an impactful, positive difference
Our mission of giving every child a safe and secure childhood while preparing them for a successful future will never change. Your support of this mission can make a meaningful and tangible impact on the lives of our children and families. We are grateful for the generosity of each advocate and donor. Please know that your support of Spaulding is highly valued and thoughtfully allocated.
