Collect Donations

Perhaps you have something in mind but it doesn't really qualify as a fundraising “event” per se – such as hosting a lemonade stands, bake sale, or “wear jeans day” at the office. If you have an idea similar to these options, we’ll make it easy as pie! Simply collect the donations and then hand them over to Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey. Contact the development office directly here stephanie.kenyon@ruf.rutgers.edu to discuss how to get your financial contribution to our office safely.

Item Donations

While we are grateful for your generosity in collecting items to donate to our patients, such as toys, books, or care kits, click here for our policy before your collection begins. Contact cinjdevelopment@ruf.rutgers.edu to arrange for delivery to Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey.

Memorial Wall Dedication

When a loved one passes, families may choose to have gifts directed to CINJ in their memory. When memorial gifts total $2,500 or more, families may elect to include the name of their loved one on the Memorial Wall – a series of frosted glass panels which surround the main atrium stairway at Rutgers Cancer institute. Traditionally held on the first Friday of November, family and friends are invited to a reception and dedication celebrating those who were most recently added to the Memorial Wall.

Create Your Legacy Through a Planned Gift

Charitable gifts help you meet your current philanthropic goals and extend your generosity well into the future. But did you know that a planned gift can also protect your assets, provide for your family, and guarantee you income for life? You can even make a significant impact through a gift that costs nothing in your lifetime (through a charitable bequest under your will).

Five Ways to Make a Planned Gift

To read about one of the five basic ways to make a planned gift, select the option below that best fits your situation.

Gifts by Will – Make a gift that costs nothing now.

Gifts that Pay You Income – You can support Rutgers Cancer Institute and retain income for yourself and loved ones.

Gifts that Protect Your Assets – Lead trusts allow you to benefit Rutgers Cancer Institute now, then your heirs.

Gifts from Retirement Plans – Consider retirement plan benefits for a significant gift.

What to Give – Giving cash is simple, but giving assets such as stock often offers additional tax savings.
