Memorial Contributions
Memorial contributions can be quite a meaningful expression of sympathy for a departed friend or loved one. The Trust will notify the family with appropriate acknowledgement that a gift was made by you in their loved one’s memory.
Some people choose to pay respect to their ancestors who took part in the Civil War by making a gift of tribute to the Trust. You will receive a keep-sake certificate for these special memorial donations.
Honor DonationsWe welcome gifts made in honor of loved ones, friends or associates. Your gift can celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary, or even a wedding. The Trust will notify the honoree that a thoughtful gift was made in their honor.
The Palmetto Society
Join the Palmetto Society by leaving your legacy for the Fort Sumter Fort Moultrie Historical Trust. Making a planned gift in your will or estate plans will make you an integral part of preserving our Parks for generations to come. You have several options, many of which will provide you with significant tax savings.
The Trust can easily be named as a beneficiary through your will, a living trust (which may actually provide income to you or your loved one for your lifetimes), life insurance or retirement benefits. Donating stocks to the Trust is another simple way to make a planned gift to the Trust.
