NeuroCatalyst Circle: Monthly Giving Community

Monthly contributions not only decrease administration costs, but cultivates a strong sense of partnership and commitment between WiN and our investors. By implementing automatic payments, WiN is able to lower its expenses. This means that a greater portion of your contributions directly supports our educational initiatives and programs. This ensures they remain sustainable and can adapt to the changing needs of our communities.

Judi & Harvey Nudelman Fund

Created to honor the legacy Harvey established and the one Judi, who is the founder of WiN, is building for herself.

Additionally, monthly giving allows WiN to implement strategic, long-term plans that provide ongoing support for our interns, alumni, and communities. By choosing to give monthly, you empower us to inspire students and help our communities by building an inclusive scientific community and advancing the science to make lives better for everyone.

Contact us at admin@neurowomen.org or 737-234-6333 to explore the most effective strategies that align with your company’s philanthropic goals.

Stock Gifts

Giving appreciated stock is one meaningful way to support our mission. Instead of making a cash gift, you can donate eligible securities and turn an existing investment into support for advancing neuroscience. Stock gifts make a lasting impact by providing meaningful philanthropic support while allowing you to give from assets you already own.

A couple of tips to consider: (a) Securities owned for a year or less are considered short-term assets by the Internal Revenue Service, and gifting them won’t produce attractive tax benefits. (b) It will be more advantageous for you to sell the stock and make a cash gift if your stocks or mutual funds have decreased in value. (c) Gifts of stock are tax-deductible based on the stock’s fair market value on the day the gift is received by our broker.

Your broker or investment advisor or you may notify us at admin@neurowomen.org with your name or your client’s name and their address. Please have the name of the security(ies), the number of shares, and the estimated date of transfer ready for the WiN representative who will provide assistance.

Planned Giving – Imagine what your legacy could make possible

You don’t have to give up anything today to make a difference tomorrow. A planned gift can be as simple as including WiN in your will or naming the organization as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy. Your vision for the future can become part of someone else’s opportunity to discover, lead, and make a difference.

You can choose the approach that best fits your goals, values, and financial plans. Contact admin@neurowomen.org to begin exploring planned giving and your legacy. We encourage you to consult your financial, tax, and legal advisors when making planned-giving decisions.
