WAYS TO GIVE

There are many ways to make a meaningful contribution. Every form of support makes a difference.

  • A one-time or recurring annual gift is the simplest way to support the National Seashore. Give at any level; annual cumulative gifts of $50 or more make you a Member.

  • Monthly— Set up a recurring monthly gift for reliable, sustained impact over time. Small monthly amounts add up to meaningful annual support.

  • Donor-Advised Funds — Recommend a grant from your donor-advised fund to Friends of the Cape Cod National Seashore for immediate, flexible impact. 

  • Gifts of Stock or Securities — Contributing appreciated assets may increase the impact of your gift and offer tax advantages. Contact us to arrange a securities transfer.

  • IRA Charitable Distribution- If you are 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA can satisfy your required minimum distribution and benefit the Seashore.

  • Legacy Gifts — A bequest, charitable trust, or other planned gift ensures the National Seashore endures for generations to come. We welcome conversations about legacy giving.

  • Multi-Year Pledges — provides the National Seashore with stability and allows us to plan for larger projects with confidence

  • Employer Match — Many employers match charitable gifts. Check with your HR department to double the impact of your contribution.

  • Corporate Sponsorships — Businesses that share our values are invited to explore sponsorship opportunities that connect your brand to the Seashore and its mission.

We welcome conversations about transformational investments — including multi-year pledges, endowment gifts, and legacy commitments that will help sustain Cape Cod National Seashore for generations.
