Legacy Gift

A legacy gift is an opportunity to continue your impact on the future of solving food insecurity. Our Neighbors’ Table can be included as a beneficiary in your will or revocable trust. A bequest gift allows you to make a significant and lasting impact on your community without affecting your current finances.  

IRA Rollover/Retirement Plan Assets

Our Neighbors’ Table can be included as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401k, 403(b), or other retirement or deferred compensation plan.  There is also an option if you are age 70½ or older, to qualify for an opportunity to transfer assets annually from your IRA to a charity, tax-free. 

Stock Gifts

Giving stock or other securities, such as bonds or mutual funds, is simple to do via electronic transfer. You or your stock broker can transfer all DTC eligible securities to Our Neighbors’ Table’s account. For more information, visit our Securities Donation page.

Ward J Cromer Legacy Society

Dr. Ward J. Cromer's legacy gift in 2019 gave Our Neighbors' Table the opportunity to expand our work to create food secure communities across our region. Dr. Cromer, a a Massachusetts General Hospital psychologist and gifted teacher, had a generous spirit and passion for helping children and people around the world. His parting gift will continue to impact our neighbors and provide food security for generations to come. Dr. Cromer’s life in service to others and his vision for the impacting the future inspired ONT to name the Ward J Cromer Legacy Society in his honor.
