Memorial and Honorary Donations
Memorial and honorary gifts offer a unique way to commemorate a special occasion, person or caregiver and help change the lives of people with disabilities.
Gifts of Stocks, Security, and Other Highly Appreciated Assets
A gift of stock or securities may be more advantageous for you than a gift of cash. Here are a few considerations to discuss with your tax advisor:
- Gifts of stock or securities may allow you to avoid capital gains taxes when you contribute appreciated securities directly to Kessler Foundation.
- Such gifts may enable you to deduct the full value of the stock as a charitable contribution, saving income tax and lowering the effective cost of your gift.
Many of our donors are switching to stock donations to save on taxes as they make an immediate impact for our mission. To make a gift of stock or securities, please contact Michele Pignatello at 973.324.8363 or [email protected].

Gifts of Cryptocurrency
Donating cryptocurrency may reduce your tax burden. A gift of crypto is a non-taxable event—you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes.
Give Through Your Donor-Advised Fund
Recommend a grant from your donor-advised fund to Kessler Foundation.
Workplace Giving/Matching Gifts
If your employer matches gifts, please specify Kessler Foundation as your matching gift recipient. Contact us if you need assistance with your matching gift form.
Give From Your IRA
If you are over 70.5, giving from your IRA helps you reduce your taxable income — and for those over 72 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it while supporting our mission. Contact Michele Pignatello at 973.324.8430 or [email protected] to learn more.
