Your gift today helps the people and communities of the Northern Forest.
Your support will help create economic opportunity and community vitality in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York. We offer a variety of ways to contribute. We’re here if you need help choosing the option that’s best for you.
Other Giving Options
Retirement Assets (from IRAs)
If you are 70-½ or older, you can contribute up to $100,000 from your IRA directly and avoid paying income taxes on the distribution. This is known as a qualified charitable distribution.
Further, if you are at least 72 years old, using the qualified charitable distribution option counts toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year.

You can make a gift of appreciated securities to the Northern Forest Center. This includes publicly traded stocks and securities, and donations can be made at any time or as part of your estate plan.
To make a donation of depository eligible stocks, please direct them to:

Donor-Advised Funds
A Donor-Advised Fund is a vehicle that allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund over time. You can give through an existing Donor Advised Fund or establish a new fund through a number of entities, such as a community foundation. For more information, please contact Sarah Schmidt at 920-851-0316.
