There are several ways to help support the Society of Architectural Historians. SAH is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Contributions are tax-deductible according to IRS laws.
SUPPORT OUR EDUCATIONAL MISSION
Donations of Cash
Outright gifts of cash are fully tax-deductible. Gifts may be made by check made payable to SAH or charged to a Visa, Mastercard, or American Express, either online or mailed to SAH. Unrestricted contributions to the Annual Fund are preferable so that SAH can apply those funds where they are most needed. SAH accepts donations from Donor Advised Funds.
Gifts of Securities
If your stock is held in a brokerage account, your broker can transfer your gift to us electronically. Contact Director of Development Carolyn Garrett at cgarrett@sah.org to receive instructions for transferring your gift of securities and to provide donor information and stock transfer details.
IRA Charitable Distributions
Individuals aged 70.5 years and older can make a direct transfer of funds from their IRA to a qualified charitable organization such as SAH. Contact your tax advisor for details and please let SAH know when a disbursement has been made from your account.
Employer Matching Gifts
Many employers will match charitable contributions to SAH with an equal or higher amount to that of their employee, board member, retiree, or employee’s spouse. If your employer offers such a program, please consider SAH for the matching gift.
Planned Gifts
Create your long-term legacy and help ensure the future of the Society of Architectural Historians through a deferred gift. Planned gifts or estate plans may include a bequest to SAH in your will, your IRA, making SAH a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, transferring real estate or stocks, or other deferred contributions. For more information on planned giving, or to discuss the aspirations for your legacy, please contact Executive Director Pauline Saliga at psaliga@sah.org.
