Consistent with safeguarding its own interests, American Institute for Economic Research tries to make arranging a gift for the organization’s benefit as easy as possible, and we strive to honor the intentions of all our donors. Accordingly, we hope the following will prove helpful:

If one of your clients arranges an estate gift for the benefit of AIER, we would very much appreciate knowing about the gift, both so we can express our sincere gratitude and – as noted above – so we can make sure we will be able to fulfill the donor’s wishes. Of course, we respect the fact that in some cases donors prefer to remain anonymous.

Still, if you are willing to serve as an intermediary, a client of yours can share information about his or her plans without divulging his or her identity.

  • To notify American Institute for Economic Research that an estate gift has been arranged for its benefit, please fill out our online form or print and mail this form to:
    250 Division Street, PO Box 1000, Great Barrington, MA 01230  

Finally, we want to be of assistance to you in any way we can, whether you are simply looking for general information about charitable giving, considering particular options on behalf of a particular client, or needing our cooperation in the administration of a bequest or other type of planned gift. 

Thank you for the work you do on behalf of our donors.
