Honor Tribute

Looking for a special way to honor a loved one or celebrate a special occasion? Honor gifts are a perfect way for you to send birthday greetings, recognize weddings and births, or honor a personal hero in your life. Your gift not only allows you to pay tribute to someone special, it funds programs that benefit individuals with Down syndrome across the country.

Once a donation is made, NDSS sends a special tribute card explaining to the recipient that a gift has been made in his/her honor.

If you choose to partner with NDSS for a special occasion, a template can be prepared for you that highlights your generosity to NDSS. For example, many friends of NDSS choose to donate money in lieu of purchasing wedding favors and a note is included at the seats of their guests.

To make your honor tribute donation online, use our secure online honor/memorial donation form.

Stock Donations

Transferring stock is an excellent way to support the National Down Syndrome Society. A gift of securities provides significant benefits, such as:

Increased value for your gift to NDSS and decreased cost to you

A charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of the gifted securities

Elimination of capital gains tax that would ordinarily become due if you had sold the appreciated securities on the open market and donated the proceeds of the sale to NDSS

For more information regarding stock transfer please contact the NDSS Development Department at [email protected].

Planned Giving

It is never too early to start planning. Everyone should create a will or an estate plan to ensure that their possessions will be distributed as they desire after they have passed on.

Planning a gift to NDSS gives you the opportunity to make a lasting investment in the promising future of individuals with Down syndrome, while providing benefits to you and your family. Significant tax savings can be realized through these gift plans. A planned gift – whether it is designated to a specific program or unrestricted for use at the discretion of NDSS – may be made through a will or through a charitable gift plan.

A bequest is a transfer of property by will – for example, cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, works of art, or antiques – to an individual or to a charitable organization.

To make a gift to NDSS from your estate, you will need to sign a new will and suggest to your attorney that the following language be included:

“I give, devise, and bequeath to the National Down Syndrome Society, 8 E 41st Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10017, the sum of $_______ (or otherwise describe the gift or specify a percentage of the estate) to be used for its general purposes.”

NDSS recommends that you consult with your legal and financial advisors before proceeding with any planned giving, and we would be delighted to explore planned giving options with you and encourage you to discuss the applications of planned giving approaches with your attorney or tax advisor.
