Employer Matching Gifts

Many employers have matching gift programs to support the interests of their employees and to demonstrate their commitment to charitable organizations in their region or community. Ask your human resources or personnel department for a matching gift form to enclose with your contribution to us.

Stock Donation: 

If you are interested in making a gift via stock donation please contact Susan Grabski at director@lawrencehistory.org or 978-686-9230. A gift of stock may provide more benefits than a cash gift. When you make a gift of stock to LHC, by eliminating the capital gains tax that would be due upon selling the stock, you receive tangible tax-savings and benefits while also supporting our mission.

You can remember the Lawrence History Center by leaving a planned gift in your will or estate plan. This can be arranged through your financial advisor or attorney.
