Donor Services
To assist you when giving to Vineyard nonprofits.
AnonymityWould you like to make an anonymous gift(s)? By making a donor directed gift to the MVNC we pass your donation on to the organization(s) of your choice to maintain your complete anonymity. In addition, we collect thank you letters/notes from the organizations and pass them on to you. Contact our Executive Director for more information. | Donation of SecuritiesMany Island non-profits are small and don’t have the capability of accepting donations of securities. However, you can still make contributions of appreciated stock by making a donor directed gift to the MVNC. Just have your broker transfer the securities to our brokerage account. We’ll sell the securities upon receipt and pass the proceeds on to the organization as a gift from you. Contact our Executive Director for more information. |
