Many of our members want to see Macon's treasures preserved long after they pass on. The easiest way to ensure the future of our architectural and cultural heritage is to arrange a planned gift to Historic Macon Foundation. Every dollar you contribute through a planned gift will be placed in our Preservation Revolving Fund. Your contributions will be recycled year after year to save places, buildings and neighborhoods. There is no better way to make a perpetual gift to historic preservation and your city. Please call our office at (478) 742-5084 to arrange a meeting with our executive director, Ethiel Garlington, to discuss your planned gift.
Benefits to planned giving
Every dollar that you contribute can be recycled year after year in our revolving fund. The impact of your gift will continue in perpetuity.
Charitable gift annuities can be established with a minimum gift of $10,000 and can enable you to earn greater income on certificates of deposit and securities.
Estates can be taxed up to 65%. Establishing a planned gift can reduce your tax liability.
Planned gifts of even a few thousand dollars can make a big difference for preservation in Macon.
We can recognize your generosity now for a gift to be received in the future.
Characteristics of a planned gift donor
Most donors who make planned gifts are not wealthy, but feel very strongly about historic preservation.
Many planned gifts are in the form of historic real estate, which Historic Macon Foundation is well-equipped to receive.
