Leave a Planned Gift

Preserve our Mountain State’s past for future generations through a planned gift to the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia. 
 
Planned giving, or deferred giving, is a charitable gift made through estate planning.  Examples of planned giving include:
  • Bequests;
  • Beneficiary Designations;
  • Life Income Gifts;
  • Charitable Gift Annuities;
  • Gifts of Appreciated Assets;
  • Charitable Lead Trusts; or
  • Life Insurance.
Picture
If you already have a will, your attorney can simply add a codicil, or addendum to it. An attorney can help establish a plan that protects your family and also benefits PAWV.
 
Sample of Bequest in Will
I give, devise and bequeath to the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia, Inc. (Federal EIN: 31-1028713), a non-profit corporation duly existing under the laws of the State of West Virginia and located in Elkins, Randolph County, West Virginia, in the United States [$___________] or [___% of my estate] or [an asset], to be used for its unrestricted use and purpose (or for the support of a specific program).
 
Give to Specific PAWV Programs
PAWV has several designated programs that are able to receive contributions for those who want to be assured that their gifts are used for a specific purpose:
  • Field Services Programming: Your gift will be used to support the West Virginia Endangered Properties Program and to provide on-the-ground technical assistance to property stewards in our Mountain State.
  • Historic Preservation Revolving Loans: Your gift will be used to make low-interest loans to property stewards needing financial assistance in rehabilitating their historic property. Loan recipients will pay back the loans over a specified period of time, and the funds will be re-used in making new loans.
  • Preserve WV AmeriCorps: Your gift can be used in two ways:
    1. To help a site sponsor pay the cash match required to sponsor a Preserve WV AmeriCorps member. The cash match for part-time site sponsors is $2,000, and the cash match for full-time site sponsors is $4,000. (Contact [email protected] for a list of site sponsors.)
    2. To sponsor Preserve WV AmeriCorps group historic preservation projects, such as painting, cemetery restoration, clean-up or clean-out projects; mothballing a building; historic window rehab, or site landscaping.  Funds will be used to purchase supplies, food, consultant assistance, or travel resources necessary to ensure the success of a project.

To make a gift to one of these programs, write a check to the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia and indicate in the memo line which fund you are selecting or indicate as part of your planned giving.
