Your Support Makes a Difference
The Newtown Historic Association relies on members, friends, and local businesses and organizations to enable our ongoing efforts. Your generous support makes everything we do possible. Cash, check or credit card donations are the easiest way for you to contribute, however, there are additional ways to donate. Please take a moment to review the options below. Contact us at any time (215-968-4004, info@newtownhistoric.org) if you have questions or ideas about how you can help.
Annual Fund
Your Gifts… supporting all that we do
Annual fund donations are important in enabling the Newtown Historic Association to realize its mission. These donations enable things like educational programs, special acquisitions and archive maintenance. These gifts, for example, fund speakers for General Meetings, provide the flexibility to buy that 18th century Newtown item that comes up for auction, and may also be used for special acid-free materials needed for storing collections properly. These donations make the things we do, possible.
Planned Giving
Leave a Legacy…
Contributions made by NHA members, family and friends over the years have played a significant role in supporting, developing and expanding the NHA facilities and programs. Without your support, much of the progress we have made would not have been possible and we would not have been able to continue to serve the ever growing historically conscious Newtown community.
Gifts might include:
– A bequest in your will or living trust
– Designating the Newtown Historic Association as a beneficiary of a 401K, IRA, retirement plan or life insurance policy
– Including the Newtown Historic Association as a beneficiary in a Charitable Gift Annuity, Charitable Remainder Trust or other vehicle
Federal tax laws make it possible to bypass income, gift, and estate taxes on funds you donate for charitable purposes. This can result in a lower income estate tax bill while you gain the satisfaction of supporting causes in which you believe, such as the NHA. In addition to the regular tax savings, the capital gains tax on assets given for charitable use is entirely avoided. The additional tax savings is the reason many people choose to make their gifts in this way, in addition to the satisfaction they receive for supporting their cause.
Contact the Newtown Historic Association (215-968-4004) at any time if you have questions about the best ways to achieve your charitable goals this year, or consult your tax advisor for more information specific to your needs.
