Bequests

The easiest way to make a planned gift is to name Camp Tevya (or any combination of Cohen Camps) in your will or trust. You may specify an exact dollar amount, a percentage of or all of your residuary estate, or a particular asset (real estate, securities, insurance policies).

Retirement Assets

By naming your camp(s) as a beneficiary of all or a part of your retirement plans, your estate may be able to minimize certain income and estate taxes while increasing your impact on future campers. To name your camp(s) as a beneficiary, simply list the camp’s name on your beneficiary form for either a dollar amount or a percentage of the total.

For Camp Tevya, designate:
Camp Tevya ℅ Eli and Bessie Cohen Camps, with Tax ID 04-6152862

When you give a little “s’more” each month or however often you like, you create a steady source of critical funds that allows camp to plan further into the future. You may even find that a small monthly gift—the price of a cup of coffee or two—is so easy to make, while adding up to a substantial annual gift!

Set up your recurring gift

Does your company support causes that are important to their employees–and sometimes even their retirees? Matching gift programs typically double the donation at the very least! We will gladly help in the process of any matching gift program your company offers. Check with your human resources or business office to find out your company’s policy, or let us know whom to contact.

Your own commitment to camp can inspire others! Is it your bar/bat mitzvah? Your birthday? Graduation, wedding, anniversary, or retirement? Mazel tov! On special occasions or just any day, you can make important moments even more meaningful while increasing access to scholarship funds (which help 1 in 4 camp families), enhancing programs, and so much more. 

Simply invite your friends and family to share in this work:

• Request donations to your camp in place of gifts OR
• Donate a portion of your cash gifts to your camp’s Scholarship Fund

Please get in touch to register your event. We’ll give you a special, short website address to share around, so your gifts go exactly where you intend.

To register: Email Barbara Stevens, Development Director, or call her at 781.489.2070.
