The National Priorities Project (NPP) depends on support from individuals to fund our work. We do not receive any monies from the government or corporations (except for donors who have their employers match their gifts).

All of our funds come from a handful of foundations and individuals like yourself. To find out more about NPP, our Board, our successes and to see our most recent annual report, click here.

Monthly Sustainer Program: top of page

As part of our annual appeal, we are asking supporters to consider becoming a sustainer of NPP by giving monthly by check or credit card. If you join, you will have a fixed sum transferred automatically from your checking account or a charge made on your credit card. (If you are doing it by check, enclose a check signed with the amount for the first month). By doing this you save time and assure that NPP has a reliable, regular source of support for out work.

You can sign up by printing out this form or by contacting Phil Korman, Director of Development at philk@nationalpriorities.org or 413-584-9556.

Gifts in Honor/Memory: top of page

A gift to the National Priorities Project is a unique way to honor a special individual, or honor the memory of a recently passed loved one. Let us know who the gift is in honor or in memory of, and who you’d like us to notify, and we will take care of the rest.

Planned Giving: top of page

The National Priorities Project’s ability – today and tomorrow – to strengthen is supported through the generosity of NPP’s donors. Bequests, gift annuities, and other charitable estate planning provide vital support for NPP’s future efforts.

One of the simplest ways to make a gift to the National Priorities Project is through your will or living trust. Such gifts provide critical support for the future of our organization and our mission.

You can name NPP as the direct beneficiary of a stated amount of money or a stated percentage of your estate. You can also designate NPP to receive all or a portion of the remainder of the estate once all specific bequests have been satisfied. You may even designate NPP as a contingent beneficiary in the event that family members or other beneficiaries do not survive you.

Here is sample language that can be used to provide a bequest:

I give, devise, and bequeath to the National Priorities Project, a charitable organization located in Northampton, Massachusetts, (the sum of $____); (___ percent of my estate); (the following property: _______); or (the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate).

NPP’s tax identification number is 04-3070112. If you have already provided for NPP in your estate plans, please let us know so that we may recognize your generosity.

Company Matching: top of page

Many companies have employee matching gifts programs. By taking advantage of these programs, your contribution to the National Priorities Project can be doubled or even tripled by your employer. Check with your Human Resources office about whether your company has such a program. It is an easy way to make your dollars go further to support NPP. When you send us your donation, simply include your company’s matching gift form and we will do the rest!
