Many Ways To Give To The Building Fund 

Gifts of Endowment A gift for endowment demonstrates your farsighted commitment to the Museum. An endowment is a fund that is maintained in perpetuity, and only a portion of the annual investment return is used for the purposes specified by the donor. The rest of the investment yield is returned to principal. Thus, over the years, the fund can grow and hopefully keep pace with inflation. Such endowments, which typically bear the name of the donor or donors, reflect your interests and serve as an enduring testament to your generosity.

Appreciated Securities A gift of long-term appreciated marketable securities helps you save taxes twice. Such a gift will provide an income-tax charitable deduction and capital gains tax savings.

Closely Held Securities Securities in a company that is not publicly traded are known as closely held securities. When a donor makes a gift of these securities to PCAM, the donor may enjoy tax savings and can even increase his or her income from the donated stock.

Matching Gifts Many corporations can demonstrate their support for PCAM by matching, or multiplying, their employees' gifts to PCAM, up to a set amount. Before you make a gift, you may want to ask whether your employer participates in such a program. Certain restrictions apply to matching gifts; please consult your company's personnel office for further information.
Gifts of Real Estate...When you give a gift of your home or real property to PCAM, you may claim an income-tax charitable deduction based on the full market value of the gift, avoid capital gains taxes, and eliminate certain costs associated with the transfer of real property. Gifts of real estate can also provide income to you.
