Giving from Your 401k or IRA Retirement Plan
Leave family the balance of savings and checking accounts, and donate double-taxed assets like IRAs to us.

- Pass the balance of your retirement assets to Mass Audubon by contacting your plan administrator.
- Important! Tell Mass Audubon about your gift. Your plan administrator is not obligated to notify us, so if you don't tell us, we may not know.
