– Foundations –
Your pathway to funding your historic projects.
Offer your members the benefit of a tax-deductible contribution by taking full advantage of an opportunity allowed by the IRS by forming a Foundation. These funds can be used to help preserve your facility and fund the all important historical exhibits and displays that tell your club’s story and preserve its legacy.
A brief step-by-step:
-
Submit your application to your states' Office of Historic Preservation. Click here for a state by state list.
-
When approved, your nomination is sent to the Federal National Register for Historic Places.
-
Once listed, you may establish a nonprofit foundation that can receive tax-deductible contributions to preserve your clubhouse.
To start the path to your Foundation, contact us to set up a time to discuss: foundations@privateclubhistorical.com
“Many private clubs are surprised to learn that they have the opportunity to establish a nonprofit foundation to help preserve their facility. They first have to qualify for the listing of their clubhouse on the Federal National Register for Historic Places, but this is not as difficult as it may seem. Once they achieve that listing, there are some fairly straightforward steps they can follow to establish a nonprofit foundation that can receive tax-deductible contributions to preserve their clubhouse.”
– Gregory Nowak,
Senior Council at Miller Canfield
“Since establishing our Foundation in 2016, our Club has raised over $2 million centered around preserving our historic Clubhouse built in 1929. Our members have not only benefited by a tax-deductible contribution to the Foundation, but have seen first-hand the ongoing preservation of our Clubhouse.”
