Making a grant from your DAF is easy! You can contact your DAF administrator on the phone or via the DAF website and provide them with our federal 501(c)(3) number: 04-1564655. You can also use the DAF Direct form below. The Schwartz Center is under the same federal 501(c)(3) number as Massachusetts General Hospital.

A gift of appreciated securities or stock is a great way to support the Schwartz Center. Gifts of stock and other securities typically entitle a donor to a federal income tax charitable deduction and capital gains tax savings for securities owned for at least a year.
To transfer securities electronically to the Schwartz Center via MGH, the DTC instructions are as follows:
Please include your name in the reference field of the transfer. In addition, in order to properly identify your contribution to the Schwartz Center, notification of your donation, including the securities and number of shares, must be sent to: Nicole Short, Development Data Manager
Phone: (857) 282-9765
Email: nshort@theschwartzcenter.org
In accordance with IRS guidelines, the date of gift will be considered the date that MGH assumes ownership of the shares. For crediting purposes, the value is determined as the average of the high and low listings on the date the stock is gifted.
If you are over 70 ½ years old and have an IRA, you can make a QCD up to $100,000 directly from your IRA to the Schwartz Center. A QCD can help you reach your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without having to pay income taxes on the amount of your donation. Your gift must go directly from your traditional IRA or Roth IRA to the Schwartz Center. In order to complete a QCD, contact your IRA administrator for the necessary forms and procedures. Gifts must be made by December 31 to take advantage this tax year.
