Gifts may be made directly to the Foundation in several ways. Outright gifts may be made by check or credit card (Visa or MasterCard). An outright gift of appreciated stock or other assets is also possible, potentially saving the donor capital gains taxes and possibly offering other tax advantages. As indicated above, a number of attractive charitable giving vehicles, which also offer tax advantages, are available to provide a “planned gift” at a later date. All gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Gifts via check may also be made through your lodge Secretary.
