There are several ways to make a gift to the Historic Polegreen Foundation -- each responsive to a donor's particular circumstances and each with distinct tax advantages. Campaign gifts are not intended to replace annual support for the Foundation's programs and services. The options below enable a donor to fulfill their wishes for the exciting projects at hand and for the ongoing annual program needs.

1. Outright Gift: You may elect to make an outright gift either of cash or securities as the most direct way to give. A gift of appreciated securities, whether publicly traded or from a private company, may provide greater tax advantages than gifts of cash. The donor can deduct the current fair market value as a charitable gift, avoiding capital gains tax on the appreciation. Outright gifts of marketable real or personal property are also possible.
   
   
2. Multi-Year Pledge: You may choose to pledge to the foundation. Pledges can be fulfilled over a period of one to five years. Here, too, gifts to The Annual Fund can be planned and pledged over the course of any special effort or campaign.
   
   
3. Corporate Matching Gifts: Donors can increase community support to the organization through corporate matching gifts programs. You (and/or your spouse) are encouraged to contact your employer or former employer to inquire about a matching gifts program.
   
   
4. Planned Gift: There are a variety of planned giving options enabling donors to fulfill their commitment or even consider a larger gift level for the Foundation. Options promoted include: gifts of stock, real or other personal property; or, such deferred gifts as life insurance, annuities, lead and remainder trusts and bequests.

To discuss these gift options, please contact us. If you would prefer to make a gift online, you can do so here.
