Annual Fund donations donations support AHS’s yearly operations, advancing the educational programs, exhibits, extensive public archives, collections preservation, and historical sites that inspire a life-long interest in the Aspen and Snowmass community.
We appreciate your support!
When you donate stocks and other securities directly to Aspen Historical Society, your contribution has a significant impact without affecting your bank account balance. Additionally, you can avoid taxes on any gains from the appreciated assets you give. Achieve your charitable objectives, benefit from possible tax advantages, and support the preservation of Aspen’s rich history. It’s a win-win-win situation.
Maximize your charitable impact by donating appreciated stocks directly. This method allows you to avoid capital gains tax and potentially receive a deduction for the full market value of the stocks.
Recommend a grant from your DAF to support the Aspen Historical Society. This flexible giving option allows you to manage your charitable donations and support our mission effortlessly.
Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? Consider naming the Aspen Historical Society as a beneficiary. This can simplify the transfer process and ensure your legacy contributes to preserving Aspen’s history.
Speak with your IRA custodian to initiate the transfer process today!
The CARES Act passed in 2020 allows all taxpayers to deduct up to $300 of their charitable giving whether you itemize deductions or take the standard deduction. This is $300 you will not have to pay taxes on, even if you do not itemize. We encourage you to talk to your tax advisor for more details. We are grateful for your support and hope you will consider AHS for this benefit!
