Ways to Give

Your contributions to Hearth drive our efforts to prevent and end homelessness for the most vulnerable older adults living in the Greater Boston area. Your generosity allows us to maintain and grow our Outreach and Housing Programs which provide comprehensive direct care, housing search placement, follow up stabilization case management, and homelessness prevention services to nearly 500 older adults each year.

Help make a new apartment feel like home

In partnership with the Forbes Building in Jamaica Plain, Hearth is housing 15 individuals who have been chronically homeless. Your contribution to our Furnishings Fund will make a new resident’s apartment feel like home. This valuable fund provides Hearth with the necessary resources to purchase essential furniture and home goods for our new residents.

More Ways to Support Hearth

  • DOUBLE YOUR DONATION: “Double the Donation” is a powerful tool that allows you to amplify the impact of your individual gift. Many employers offer corporate matching programs that match their employees’ charitable donations, dollar for dollar. This means your contribution to Hearth could be doubled—or even tripled—at no extra cost to you.
  • DONOR-ADVISED GIFTS | Hearth welcomes gifts made through donor-advised funds, a program of a public charity that allows you to make an irrevocable contribution and then recommend grants to qualified nonprofit organizations on your own timetable.
  • HONORARY OR MEMORIAL GIFT | Honor and celebrate a loved one by making a gift in their name. Donors making a tribute gift can choose to add an additional email address and send a personal note explaining what inspired them to give. Please contact Hearth’s Development office to learn how to direct funds to Hearth from a Memorial Fund!
  • BEQUEST/PLANNED GIVING | Leave an impactful legacy by incorporating Hearth into your estate planning. Leave a designated amount of money or a percentage of your estate to Hearth. Retirement planning, qualified charitable distributions, and bequests are just a few of the ways you can support Hearth’s mission long into the future. Your gift entitles your estate to a federal estate tax charitable contribution deduction. Please contact Hayden Kane, Development Associate, hkane@hearth-home.org.
  • STOCKS AND BONDS | Did you know that donating stock is up to 20% more valuable than donating cash, allowing you to make a more impactful contribution, and an added deduction on your taxes. Gifting stock avoids federal capital gains tax and often donors can also claim an income tax deduction for the stock’s full value. Marketable securities can be transferred directly to our brokerage firm. If you are interested in donating stock or other securities, please contact Hayden Kane, Development Associate, hkane@hearth-home.org, 617-369-1565.
  • IN-KIND DONATIONS | In-kind donations of needed items are a great way to help Hearth’s elders feel at home and to help our organization run more efficiently.
