| Giving
Support |
There are many ways to make a contribution to the GBC,
including: cash, wills or life estates, securities, real estate and
other assets.
|
The GBC is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization. All
gifts are subject to limitations as to the deductibility allowed for the
type of gift made to a public charity. All contributions are acknowledged
with a receipt for your tax purposes.
|
CASH GIFTS, in most circumstances, are fully tax deductible when a purchase is
not made. Checks should be made payable to the Guilford Battleground
Company. Contributions must be mailed to the address below or you may leave
your donation with the form from this site or a letter at either visitor center
front desks:
Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, 2332 New Garden Road Greensboro,
NC 27410
Tannenbaum Historic Park, 2200 New Garden Road, Greensboro, NC, 27410
Cash gifts may be used annually as a charitable deduction on your federal
income tax return to offset up to 50 percent of adjusted gross
income.

SECURITIES,
including publicly - traded stocks, bonds and mutual fund shares owned
longer than 12 months may be transferred to the Guilford Battleground
Company. Such gifts are fully tax-deductible at the value of the
securities at the time the gift is completed. No capital gains tax
is due on the difference between the cost basis of the security and the
proceeds of its sale by the Guilford Battleground Company.
Please
remember that the security itself, rather than the proceeds of its sale, must
be given to the Guilford Battleground Company in order to take full
advantage of the tax benefits of giving appreciated securities.
Gifts of appreciated securities are generally deductible annually up to 30
percent of adjusted gross income on federal tax returns. Please contact
the GBC Executive Director at (336) 545-5313 to discuss the procedure for
making a gift of securities.

WILLS / LIFE
INSURANCE are excellent ways to leave a substantial gift to the
GBC. Life insurance premiums are tax deductible while being paid and the
proceeds pass directly to the GBC free of estate taxes. Gifts from wills
can help eliminate or reduce estate taxes as well.
Please contact
the GBC Executive Director at (336) 545-5313 to discuss the procedure for
making a gift of life insurance or through you will.

OTHER ASSETS can

historically significant pieces. In addition, several opportunities exist
to develop a planned giving program that will meet the specific needs of
you and your family.
Please contact
