Ways to Give

Gifts of cash may be made over a period of time or as a one-time gift. A schedule of pledge payments may be arranged according to your needs.

Gifts of Appreciated Securities may provide additional tax advantages. Generally, an income-tax deduction may be taken for the full fair market value of gifted property.  

The IRA Charitable Rollover allows you, once you have reached the age of 72 to donate up to $100,000 within each tax year directly from your Individual Retirement Account without treating the distribution as taxable income.

Estate gifts are another way to make a gift. One of the easiest ways to do this is by naming Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement fund. You may also plan a gift by bequest in your will or other written estate plan.

Tribute gifts may be made in honor or in memory of a loved one. We will work with you to acknowledge your gift in a way that is meaningful to you.
