Ways to Give

There are many ways you can support Beech Brook's mission and bring healing and hope to our region's most vulnerable children and families.

Annual Fund Contributions

Donors who choose to support the Annual Fund have an immediate and meaningful impact on Beech Brook's essential role in the community. In addition to direct services, Annual Fund gifts touch every facet of the agency, from critical administrative functions that support our programs and services to the upkeep and maintenance of buildings and grounds.

Gifts to the Annual Fund are fully tax deductible and support essential operations that enable Beech Brook to deploy funds responsibly where they are needed most.

Through your support each year, Beech Brook is able to provide:

• 43 programs and services to more than 8,000 children and families in 103 zip codes in Cuyahoga and surrounding counties.
• Behavioral health consultation, treatment and counseling to students, teachers and staff in more than 75 elementary, middle and high schools throughout Northeast Ohio.
• Parenting, anger management, and early childhood development programs to residents of our region’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable neighborhoods through the Beech Brook Family Center in Cleveland’s Central neighborhood.
• Prevention and early intervention programs that help children and families address the challenges they face before they become so severe that the family’s stability is threatened.

Stock, Securities and Mutual Funds

Many people choose to contribute to Beech Brook by transferring securities rather than making a direct contribution of cash. Through this method of giving:

• your contribution will have an immediate impact on children and families
• you will not pay any capital gains tax on your gift
• and you may be able to claim a Federal income tax deduction based on the full fair market value of the securities on the effective date of your gift.

Please notify the Development Office by phone at 216.831.2255 or email hlang@beechbrook.org before the transfer occurs. We will be happy to help you through each step of the process.

Direct Transfer from an IRA

As of December 18, 2015, the IRA Charitable Rollover was passed by Congress and signed into permanent law by the President, allowing taxpayers age 70 ½ or older to transfer up to $100,000 ($200,000 for a married couple) annually from their IRA accounts directly to a qualified charity, such as Beech Brook, without first having to recognize the distribution as income.

Please consult with your tax professionals if you are contemplating a charitable gift under the IRA Charitable Rollover law.

Donor Advised Funds

A donor advised fund (DAF) is a type of charitable investment account that provides an immediate tax benefit to you, and allows you to recommend grants to charities, such as Beech Brook.

Please use the following tax information when granting through your donor advised fund:
