Sponsorships, Donations, Bequests

Thank you for your support of BCGHS and our mission. Donations submitted through donation forms on this site are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law and are processed in U.S. dollars. Any distributions from a tax qualified retirement account will not be included in your income as long as it is given directly to any 501(c)(3) organization. It does count toward your Required Minimum Distribution, (if you’re at the age to take required distributions). Accounts such as Traditional IRA’s (not Roth), 403(b), 457, 401(k) are available for this plan. Please consider supporting us in our endeavor to have our own library and research center with a tax deductible donation. Donations can be made online or mailed to BCGHS, P. O. Box 49, Clifton, Texas 76634.

Naming the Bosque County Genealogical & Historical Society a Beneficiary of Your Will or Trust

A common and simple way of supporting the Bosque County Genealogical & Historical Society is by making a provision in your will or trust.

Your will designates your beneficiaries and spells out your final wishes. The beneficiaries would include your heirs, of course, but many people have provisions for charitable organizations as well. We hope that you will consider including BCGHS in your plans.

The following suggested forms of bequests are examples that can be adapted by you and your attorney to meet your specific intentions.

Specific Bequest

A specific bequest names a particular dollar amount or percentage of the estate to be left to the Bosque County Genealogical & Historical Society.

Residuary Bequest 

A residuary bequest first leaves specific amounts to family members, friends, or other charities and then designates that all or part of what remains should go to the Bosque County Genealogical & Historical Society.

Contingent Bequest

A contingent bequest names the Bosque County Genealogical & Historical Society to receive part or all of your estate if your designated beneficiarie(s) predecease you.
