Give to Samaritans in Your Own Way
There are many ways to give to Samaritans, and we appreciate all of the support we receive, in whatever form works for you and your family.
You can support Samaritans through a gift of stock, a matching gift through your employer, a donor advised fund, or host your own fundraiser. Whether you are making a one-time donation, a monthly gift, or a legacy gift, we thank you for your dedication to saving lives.
Together, we can create a world without suicide.
Make a Gift of Stock
Transfer shares to Samaritans in support of suicide prevention. To make a gift of stock, please notify us of your intended gift so that we can monitor the transfer. This helps us to make sure the funds are correctly allocated.
We will notify you when the gift has been completed, and you will receive a written acknowledgment of your contribution by mail.
Please notify Erin Barfield, Chief Development Officer at (617) 275-8363 if you are interested in making a gift of stock.

Matching Gifts
Many companies offer a matching gift program to encourage philanthropy among their employees. Some companies will also match donations made by spouses and retirees.

Contributions of any amount help us provide lifesaving suicide prevention services and support those who have lost someone to suicide.

Donor Advised Fund
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) provides a convenient way to manage charitable giving.

Clients of Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, and BNY Mellon can easily make a designation to Samaritans through the DAF Direct window below:
- Search for Samaritans, Inc. by our EIN# 04-2643466
- List where your donation should be credited (campaign name, program, etc.) in the Designation field.

“I’m sending out a great big ‘thank you’ to you and your hard-working and dedicated team for all of the noble, life-saving efforts they put forth every single day for someone else’s life. Things don’t always turn out for the best but I’m happy to say that, due to Samaritans, there is one young man who has a chance to turn his life around and live a long, fulfilling, and happy life….because someone was there to listen.”
