About Online Donations
The fine print on donating to ORI online instead of by personal check: Network for Good is a “donor-advised fund,” which is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that collects contributions from donors and distributes those contributions to other nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations in good standing with the IRS as recommended by you, the donor. Your credit card statement, therefore, lists Network for Good and not the charity on this page because your donation is to our donor-advised fund. Network for Good then forwards the contribution to the Ocean River Institute on your behalf. As required by the IRS, Network for Good has exclusive legal control over donations to our donor-advised fund.

Gifts of Appreciated Securities
You can secure significant tax advantages by making a gift of securities – stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. A gift of stock held longer than one year allows you to avoid paying capital gains tax. You also receive an income tax deduction for the current market value of the gift – deducting gifts totaling up to 30% of your adjusted gross income in any year, with a five-year carryover for any excess. To make a gift, you are welcome to call Essex County Community Foundation at 978-777-8876.
