    DONATE TO BHS

     

    Does your company match? Many companies provide matching gift programs that multiply their employee’s charitable donations. If you or your spouse are employed by a matching gift company your contribution could be significantly increased. Matching gifts are designated to the same fund as the donor’s original gift.

    To obtain a matching gift, contact your employer’s HR department for a matching gift form. Complete the donor/employee portion of the form and send it with your contribution. We will complete our part of the form and return it to the company to initiate its fulfillment of the match.

  • 1956 Society - A Planned Giving Society Dedicated to the Future of the Brownville Historical Society
    MAKE A DIFFERENCE THROUGH GIVING -
    Do you desire to help shape the future of the Brownville Historical Society after your lifetime? If so, there are several ways you can do this by including the Brownville Historical Society in your will. Here are some suggestions:

    • Gifts of cash or securities - you can give a specific amount of cash or securities

    • Gifts of personal or real property - you leave certain personal or real property to the Society and allow the Board to decide whether it is better to keep or sell it

    • Gifts of estate - You can give a share or percentage of what is left in your estate after other obligations are met.

    • Contingent bequests - You can make a contingent bequest, where you give a part of your estate to someone if that person survives you; if not, then it goes to BHS.

    • Gift of life insurance - You can give a gift through life insurance with the Brownville Historical Society as the beneficiary.

    • Give a charitable gift - often a charitable gift is given in memory or honor of a person loved by the donor. The Historical Society is pleased to honor such a request.

    REFLECT ON THE PAST…THINK ABOUT YOUR LEGACY.
