WAYS TO SUPPORT THE AHC WITH YOUR DONATION

Become a Monthly Giver

Monthly Giving through your checking account offers a convenient and effective way to support the mission and work of the AHC throughout the year. Just select “Make this a recurring donation deducted” on our donation form.

Have your employer match your gift

Not only is it an easy and effective way to double the amount of your donation, but it also maximizes the impact your gift can have in supporting preservation in our community. When considering a donation to the AHC, please check with your employer to see if they offer a matching gift program. Just fill out the Matching Gifts section on the donation page.

Share your shares

Meet your charitable goals and save money by donating stocks to the AHC. A gift of stock or mutual funds before December 31st could be a great way to maximize tax savings and meet your charitable giving goals for the year. Please contact us for more information.

Build the AHC’s legacy with your IRA

If you’re 70½ years old or older, there’s a simple way to support the AHC and receive significant tax benefits in return. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to the AHC without paying income taxes on the donation. Please contact us at info@visitahc.org for more information. For more online information about how this works, review the IRS website.

Make a business contribution

There are a variety of opportunities for your company to show their commitment to historic preservation in our community. Please read more about the benefits of becoming an AHC business member or to learn how your business can partner with us through a sponsorship.

Planned Giving: include the AHC in your estate planning

You can make a difference for decades through estate planning. Any meaningful gift that has the ability to affect lasting change requires careful consideration and planning. Our donors entrust us with the resources we need to realize our mission. In turn, we want to inform our donors about the range of effective, tax-efficient methods to meet their charitable giving goals. Please contact us for more information.
