Annual Fund                

Gifts to the Georgia Historical Society's Annual Giving Fund help the institution to collect, examine, and teach Georgia and American history by serving as a base of general operating funds that are used to support the continued delivery of GHS programs, publications, and research services.  Donations to GHS's Annual Giving Fund are fully tax-deductible and your generous gift will have an immediate and vital impact on GHS's ability to continue to fulfill its founding mission.  Learn more

Endowment Campaign

GHS is working towards securing a $10 million Endowment to help ensure a future for Georgia's past.  In 1973, the Georgia Historical Society Board of Curators created a permanent Endowment Trust with a separate, independent Board of Trustees.  The purpose of the Trust is to provide for the perpetual care and maintenance of the Society's collection and facilities as well as to ensure a future for Georgia's past.  Learn more

Planned Giving

Planned gifts to the Georgia Historical Society - immediate outright gifts or deferred estate-based gifts of money or other assets - create extraordinary opportunities for both the donor and GHS.  For the donor, planned gifts can provide tax advantages, help fulfill estate-planning objectives for both heirs and charitable organizations, complement lifestyle goals, and create a legacy.  For GHS, planned gifts literally assure its future ability to preserve Georgia's past.  Learn more 

 

/assets/0000/1231/flag_web.jpgTributes and Memorials

A gift to the Georgia Historical Society is a wonderful, caring way to remember a family member or friend, or to honor a milestone.  Donors can feel doubly satisfied that their gift will acknowledge a special person or event while also helping to further GHS's mission to collect, preserve, and share Georgia history.  GHS provides tribute and memorial gift givers with a contribution receipt, and acknowledges receipt of the gift, and the donor's thoughtfulness, to the honoree or other recipient designated by the donor.  All gift amounts remain confidential.

Combined Federal Campaign

The Georgia Historical Society participates in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), the world's largest annual workplace charity campaign that offers federal employees an opportunity to give back to their communities by making contributions to non-profit organizations of their choice.  The Georgia Historical Society's CFC five-digit agency code is 40549.  


 

How to Give

The Society accepts gifts by check, credit card and money order; in the form of securities, life insurance and real estate; as bequests and from qualified retirement plans.  Please note that many companies match charitable gifts made by current employees and retirees; an appropriate form from the employer should accompany a qualifying donor's gift.  

 

Some methods of giving to GHS may have significant estate planning and tax benefits for the donor.  A Society's representative, along with your financial and legal advisor, can help to structure a gift in the manner most appropriate for your individual or family circumstances.  All gifts to the Georgia Historical Society are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
