Stock Transfer information
 

Make a gift of stock, bonds or securities.
Gifts of securities can provide you with valuable tax benefits while supporting the Peabody Essex Museum with a charitable donation. Shares can be transferred electronically by notifying your broker that you wish to make a gift of securities to the Peabody Essex Museum. Your broker may need written authorization from you, including the name of stock and the number of shares, before the transfer can be made.

Please reach out to devops@pem.org for the Peabody Essex Museum stock transfer notification form.
 

Notifying PEM of an impending securities transfer helps avoid delays in receipt and recording of your gift.

Planned Giving: 
 

Sustain the Peabody Essex Museum for future generations by planning for a special gift. There are a number of creative ways to make a planned gift that may financially benefit you and the museum. We invite individuals who plan to give in this way to join the Nathaniel Bowditch Society.

For more information about the Nathaniel Bowditch Society and how you can support the museum through a legacy gift such as a bequest or life income gift, please contact us at nathaniel_bowditch_society@pem.org.

Giving through Donor Advised Funds:

Your donor-advised fund may be used to renew your annual membership, make a flexible gift to PEM Fund or support a special project.

Please note: Because you receive an immediate tax deduction when you transfer funds to your DAF, your gift to PEM must be 100 percent tax deductible. If you choose to use your DAF to join or renew at the EIMA level, you will be asked to make a separate gift from a personal account for the fair market value of any taxable benefits you use, such as attendance at special events.  

Matching Gifts:

Double your impact through matching gifts! Many companies will match your gift to PEM. Please contact your Human Resources Department for a matching gift application.

You can contact the Development Office at any time at devops@pem.org.
