Support the Beverly Education Foundation

Giving to the Beverly Education Foundation

When you support BEF, you make an immediate and lasting impact in Beverly Public Schools. Your donation allows funding which inspires students, drives teacher innovation, pilots new educational programs, and supports equal access and educational opportunities for all.  Make a donation so we may continue providing grants to help support new learning opportunities and programs for all students.  When you support BEF, you enrich the intellectual, social, and emotional development of our children.  And, you contribute to the excellence of Beverly Public Schools. There’s no better investment in our future. It has been another extraordinary year for the Beverly Education Foundation. Your support and participation are gratefully acknowledged. Starting this year, take advantage of the NEW Massachusetts Charitable Deduction.  Every charitable donation you make can be deducted from your Massachusetts income tax return, even if you do not itemize on your Federal return!

Two Options to Donate

Additional Donation Opportunities

Matching Donations:  Many workplaces powerfully leverage your donation by matching contributions to BEF.  Check whether your employer has a matching gift program and form. These donations make a critical difference for the Beverly Education Foundation.
Corporate Donations:  Mutually beneficial partnerships with businesses and private organizations empower BEF to provide greater support for Beverly Public School students, to strengthen academic programs and initiatives and to provide greater impact in the Beverly community.
Estate & Trust Donations: Leave a legacy gift by directing an estate contribution to BEF.  You can plan now for a future gift to the Foundation by including a bequest provision in your Will or Trust.  Beverly Education Foundation can be named a beneficiary of an estate or as a recipient of a specified gift.  
IRA Gifts: Assets such as Individual Retirement Account (IRA) benefits, 401(k) benefits, and life insurance benefits can be donated by naming the Beverly Education Foundation as the designated beneficiary of your contract.  Donors over 70 ½ can maximize your charitable giving by making a gift out of an IRA. Donate up to $100,000 per year tax-free directly to the Beverly Education Foundation and avoid recognizing the distribution as income.
Gifts of Stock: When you arrange the gift of appreciated stocks directly to the Beverly Education Foundation, you can avoid capital gains tax which would be incurred if you sold the same securities outright.  If you wish to make a gift of stock or to discuss these and other giving opportunities, please contact info@bevedfoundation.org.
