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.
