Ways to Give

Many AHS supporters choose tax-smart methods of contributing, such as donating stock, granting from donor advised funds, or making a qualified charitable distribution. We encourage you to explore these options to maximize your impact while supporting Aspen Historical Society.
Donate Stocks
Maximize your charitable impact by donating appreciated stocks directly. This method allows you to avoid capital gains tax and potentially receive a deduction for the full market value of the stocks.
Donor Advised Funds
Recommend a grant from your DAF to support the Aspen Historical Society. This flexible giving option allows you to manage your charitable donations and support our mission effortlessly.
Non-Probate Assets
Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? Consider naming the Aspen Historical Society as a beneficiary. This can simplify the transfer process and ensure your legacy contributes to preserving Aspen’s history.
Speak with your IRA custodian to initiate the transfer process today!
CARES Act Charitable Gift Tax Benefit
The CARES Act passed in 2020 allows all taxpayers to deduct up to $300 of their charitable giving whether you itemize deductions or take the standard deduction. This is $300 you will not have to pay taxes on, even if you do not itemize. We encourage you to talk to your tax advisor for more details. We are grateful for your support and hope you will consider AHS for this benefit!
