At Rocking the Boat, we understand that a planned gift or a major gift is one of the most personal commitments you can make, and we appreciate your consideration. These gifts play a vital role in Rocking the Boat’s ability to sustain and grow its innovative programs for youth, both now and in the future. These types of gifts often provide you and your family with flexible ways to give that may also meet your personal, charitable, and financial goals. Gifts can be made one-time, payable over a number of years, or after your lifetime.

A current major gift of cash, appreciated securities, IRA qualified charitable distributions (QCDs), or donor-advised fund grants, can support our current work or strengthen our endowment, ensuring that young people continue to benefit from our programs for generations to come.

Planned gifts naming Rocking the Boat as beneficiary designation of your financial account(s), bequest in your will, or revocable or charitable remainder trust are also welcome. These gifts can be for a dollar amount, a percentage, or a remainder of your estate.

We gladly accept charitable gifts that you arrange on your own or with your legal counsel or financial advisor.

If you have already created a planned gift, please let us know so we can acknowledge your generosity. If you are interested in exploring how your philanthropic goals might align with Rocking the Boat's mission, we welcome the opportunity to have a confidential, no-obligation conversation with you about funding opportunities.

Please contact Jaye Pockriss, Chief Operating Officer, at jaye@rockingtheboat.org.

Legal Designation: Rocking the Boat, a 501(c)3 nonprofit created under the New York State Not-for-Profit Corporation Law (EIN:13-4177814) and located in New York, NY.

Rocking the Boat provides general information about estate planning but is not an estate or financial advisor. Because many variables can change the specifics of planned gifts, donors should review their personal estate and financial circumstances and objectives with their attorney and/or financial advisor.
