Support for our Mission
For 75 years, Cathedral of the Pines has annually attracted thousands of visitors per year to its 236-acre campus while, at the same time, has boosted the southwestern New Hampshire economy throughout the Monadnock Region.
Cathedral of the Pines partners with local schools and is now home for the Conant High School (Jaffrey NH) cross-country team, which practices on our trails. We share our on-campus administrative offices with the Rindge Chamber of Commerce and the Rindge Veterans Association.
The Cathedral promotes a healthy lifestyle by allowing many physical activities on its grounds (every summer, hundreds of people hike its trails). We provide a safe recreational place for the “vulnerable” segment of our population (elderly and disabled groups) – and are open seven days a week, free of charge.

Potentially eliminate the capital gains tax you would incur if you sold the real estate yourself.
Claim a fair market value charitable deduction for the tax year in which the gift is made.
RMD's Required Minimum Distributions
Did you know… that if you are over 72 years old, you are required to withdraw annually from traditional IRAs?
If you are in the position to make a generous charitable deduction, consider giving your RMD payout directly to Cathedral of the Pines. Although you will not get a charitable deduction on your income tax return, your contribution WILL be excluded from your taxable income.
