Legacy Gifts
Overview
Many of our supporters committed to preserving the legacy and history of southern Tuolumne County may want to explore the possibility of legacy gift to STCHS and the Groveland Museum. Such a gift will make a significant and long-term impact on achieving the goals of preserving and disseminating the unique traditions of our area and its people.
Most legacy gifts are made by bequest through a will or trust. Gifts can be in cash or in other assets (such as real estate or financial assets). Alternatively, the Museum can be named as the beneficiary of certain retirement plans. The Museum receives your gift after your lifetime and applies it to the goals of the organization or any purpose you specify.
Your distribution is fully deductible for federal estate tax purposes, and there is no limit on the deduction your estate can claim. In addition, the gift is usually exempt from state inheritance taxes.
If you choose to remember the Museum or STCHS in your bequest document, we will make every appropriate effort to recognize your generosity in keeping with the wishes of you or your family.

Estate giving requires good planning to be sure that your wishes are followed as you want. Depending on your circumstances and preferences, your bequest can take several alternate forms with different legal and tax implications. Please consult with your estate or tax attorney for final decisions.
OTHER WAYS TO DONATE
Donations of other Items
STCHS also appreciates the generosity of those who are willing give personal or family items of historical value. Examples of such items include:
- Family home or personal artifacts, such as toys or kitchen items
- Photographs of local interest (or the digital versions and rights to such photographs)
- Other artifacts of historical value, not necessarily of family provenance
As a 501(c) 3 organization, the value of all donations to STCHS is tax deductible. Consulting with legal or tax experts for such deduction is advisable.
Commemorative Patio Bricks
These personally engraved bricks are a lasting way to remember a birthday, anniversary, a special occasion, or a loved one, while showing support for the ongoing programs of STCHS and the Museum. They are set in the Memorial Patio to the right of Museum entrance.
The amount per brick is $150.
Anyone wishing to sponsor a commemorative brink should contact the Museum by e-mail at gygmstchs@gmail.com. The inscription is up to 3 lines of 20 characters (upper and lower case, spaces included).
