Tributes and Memorials
A gift to the Seminole Historical Society is a wonderful, caring way to remember a family member or friend, or to honor a milestone. Donors can feel doubly satisfied that their gift will acknowledge a special person or event while also helping to further SHS's mission to collect, preserve, and share Seminole's history.

The Charitable IRA Legislation
Make tax-free gifts from your IRA! On October 3, 2008, The President signed the "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008," which reinstates and extends certain tax law provisions that allow direct charitable gifts from Individual Retirement Accounts by anyone over age 70 1/2 to qualified organizations such as the Seminole Historical Society.
If you are required to receive minimum distributions from your IRA and you do not need the money for personal use, consider using those funds as a charitable gift. Contact your tax adviser today to find out more about this opportunity.
