Historic Highfield is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and your gifts are tax-deductible to the full extent provided by law. The following information describes some of the ways you can make a gift. Please call or email Barbara Milligan, Highfield Hall's Executive Director, if you have questions. (508)495-1878

Gifts of Cash
Gifts of cash or cash pledges are the simplest way to give to Highfield Hall.

Gifts of Appreciated Securities
A transfer of appreciated securities saves money in two ways: income taxes are reduced because of the charitable donations, and you avoid capital gains tax that would have applied had you sold the shares yourself. Please call our office for information about transferring stock.

Gifts of Real Estate and Personal Property
Donors may wish to contribute to Highfield Hall gifts of readily saleable or usable real estate, art, antiques and equipment. Highly appreciated real estate can be used to fund a trust or annuity that could save taxes, provide you with income for life, and provide a long-term gift to Historic Highfield. The Executive Director will be happy to discuss all such potential gifts with you.

Life Insurance or Retirement Funds
Life insurance policies, IRAs, and certain other retirement assets can be transferred to Historic Highfield and can even be placed into a trust that would provide you with income for life.

Corporate Matching Gifts
It may be possible to double, or even triple the amount of your gift to Highfield Hall. Many companies sponsor matching gift programs to enhance contributions made by their employees to non-profit organizations.
