Since its founding, the Indian Hill Historical Society has been fortunate to have a community and membership that have been abundantly generous in their support of our mission, “Keeping Indian Hill’s Past and Present Alive for Tomorrow.” In response to this generous support, the Historical Society is proud to introduce the Indian Hill Historical Society Planned Giving Program. This new program is a formal way for all members and friends to participate in the guarantee of the long-term continuation of the organization. The Planned Giving Program is the conduit for the continued growth of the current Society Endowment Fund.

Many corporations offer matching gift programs that can double or triple the value of your gift to Indian Hill Historical Society. In addition, many employers will also match contributions by spouses, retirees, and trustees. Please contact your company’s Human Resources or Community Relations office for eligibility information and matching gift forms.

Securities such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds make a wonderful gift. The tax savings to the donor can be significant.

• Selling stocks, mutual funds, and other securities that have appreciated in value generally result in taxable long-term capital gains if you have owned the securities for more than twelve months.
• Making a gift of appreciated securities avoids the capital gains tax.
• Making such a gift allows a donor who itemizes deductions to claim a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the securities.
• Please consult your tax advisor for more information specific to your situation.
