Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes.

Planned Planning
Through various types of bequests, you may secure a charitable estate-tax deduction for the value of the gift. Best of all, you will know that your generosity will support our mission for years to come.
You may prefer to state in your will or trust a sum of money or a percentage of your estate that you wish to give to the Customs House Foundation.
Whatever form of bequest you choose, it is not subject to federal estate taxes and so significantly reduces the tax burden of an estate. The value of the bequest may be deducted when the taxable estate is determined, and there is no limit to the deduction.
Gifting in your Will or Living Trust:
“I give [____ percent of the residue of my estate], or [the sum of ________ dollars] to the Clarksville Montgomery County Museum (d.b.a. Customs House Museum & Cultural Center), and/or The Customs House Foundation Inc., Clarksville TN, for its general purposes or for the benefit of [name of museum, research center, or program].
Please call for Tax ID #.
