Planned Giving

By making a planned gift, you have the opportunity to both support the future of our fishermen and benefit from potential tax savings. We encourage you to explore options such as making a bequest, donating retirement fund assets, or establishing a charitable gift annuity. To learn more, we recommend consulting with your financial advisor or contacting Shelley Edmundson, our Executive Director, at 508-687-0344 or shelley@mvfpt.org.

Qualified Charitable Distributions

Individuals aged 70-1/2 or older may make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD)–directly donating funds from their IRA to a qualified charity like the Martha's Vineyard Fishermen's Preservation Trust. Through this method, IRA owners can contribute up to $100,000 to 501(c)3 organizations. This QCD can be used to satisfy any IRA required minimum distributions for the year. In addition, the amount of the QCD excluded from gross income is not taken into account in determining any deduction for charitable contributions.

MV Fishermen's Preservation Trust Gear!

We have hats, t-shirts for youth and adults, canvas tote bags, notecards, car magnets and stickers for sale!
