The Center’s Environment/Green Campaign

Our Environment/GreenCampaign supports our work on disseminating the best behavioral practices for a sustainable environment. The first $1500. will be used to co-sponsor the ABAI conference, Behavior Change for a Sustainable World.

Donate a Talk

A good way you can help is to “donate a talk” to the Center. Many of you already give colloquia, workshops, or keynote presentations. By donating all or a portion of your speaker’s honorarium or workshop fees to the Center, you can support the Center’s mission. In one deed you can disseminate your critical part of behavior analysis, advance the Center’s mission, and broaden public awareness of the Center. ”Donating a talk” is easy. Simply:

• Commit to “donate a talk” through the Pledge Form. The Center will then add your name, the title/topic of the talk, the event, and the date to our list of esteemed speakers who have pledged to donate or have donated the honoraria of a talk to the Center.


• Once you’ve delivered your talk, you can either request the event coordinators to donate your fee via the Center’s online donation system or you can do so yourself.

Support Behavior Side Story

This special performance, coordinated by A. Charles Catania, Trustee of the Center, is scheduled for the 2012 ABAI 38th Annual Convention during evening of Friday, May 25. Donate to cover the costs of a sound system and other expenses through the Center’s donation system. Click on Give Now, enter Amount, choose Other from the Restriction pulldown menu, and type in Behavior Side Story.

Bequests - Gifts Anyone Can Afford

Leaving a provision for CCBS in your will or living trust is a thoughtful, visionary way to extend your dedication to future generations. All funds donated to CCBS will be placed in our permanent endowment and provide a permanent lifeline to guarantee the viability of our programs and help us meet unforeseen challenges.

Remembering CCBS in your estate plans with an asset, dollar amount or percentage of your estate can help reduce or eliminate taxes which your estate may otherwise owe.

If you already have a Will, you can use the following suggested wording to make a provision for CCBS:

Cash Bequest
I give and bequeath to the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies, Beverly, MA (Federal Tax I.D. #04-2751296) the sum of $                    U.S. dollars to be used for its general purposes.

Residuary Bequest
I hereby give and bequeath to the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies, Beverly, MA (Federal Tax I.D. #04-2751296) all (or         %) of the rest, residue or remainder of my estate to be used for its general purposes.

Specific Bequest
I give and bequeath to the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies, Beverly, MA (Federal Tax I.D. #04-2751296)                     shares of                             [ all my right, title and interest in the following described property:                                               ] to be used for its general purposes.

Contingent Bequest
I hereby give and bequeath (description of property) to my spouse, if he or she survives me. If my spouse does not survive me, I give and bequeath (description of property) to the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies, Littleton, MA (Federal Tax I.D. #04-2751296) to be used for its general purposes.

Gifts of U.S. IRAs and Qualified Retirement Plans
You can name CCBS as the beneficiary or contingent beneficiary of your U.S. retirement plan, your 401(k), 403(b), IRA, Keough, etc. If you leave your plan to CCBS, we are able to avoid income tax on the money. Your loved ones, on the other hand, would incur high taxes on the account, which can be as high as 48 percent! By leaving your retirement plan to CCBS, you help support our initiatives in providing information on high-quality behavioral services and science and can leave your loved ones other estate assets that are not taxed as highly.

The Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies is a charitable, nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status. The Center is a small organization that relies heavily upon dedicated volunteers and member support. Trustees and Advisors are unpaid; the Center office is limited to essential personnel. This means that gifts to the Center go to projects in support of the mission. If you would like to support the Center's mission, donate or make a contribution to the Center through our secure online website.
