There are many ways to give to Northeast Historic Film. To discuss gift options, contact Executive Director David Weiss at 207-469-0924 or by email.

Because Northeast Historic Film is a nonprofit organization, a gift has important tax advantages. When considering the tax and estate-planning implications of a donation, it is always wise to consult your lawyer or tax advisor. Acceptable donation options are listed below.
 

Cash


A check is a convenient and useful way to contribute to NHF. A cash gift qualifies as as charitable contribution for federal income-tax purposes.
 

Securities


Gifts of securities held long-term (stocks, bonds and stocks in closely-held
companies) are an excellent way to make a donation. NHF maintains a brokerage account to receive such gifts. By transferring the securities to NHF you may avoid capital-gains tax, while securing an income-tax deduction for the full current fair market value of the gifted securities equaling up to 30% of adjusted gross income in the year of the gift.
 

Real Estate


As in a gift of securities, a gift of real estate whose value has appreciated enables you to take a deduction for the full fair market value of the property and avoid capital-gains tax.
 

Gifts to the Museum Collection


Some gifts of objects may have a monetary value, and could therefore qualify as a charitable contribution for federal income-tax purposes.
 

Bequests


Remembering NHF in your will with a gift of cash, securities, real estate or artifacts of value to the collection will help support the work of Northeast Historic Film in years to come.
 

Matching Gifts


Many companies will match employee gifts to NHF. If your company is one of them, please apply for the match and double your contribution and its effect.
