Donations

KVHS is fortunate to have had many dedicated donors. Thanks to their financial donations the KVHS board has been able to maintain the museum buildings and collections, provide programming, and invest for the future.

Since KVHS is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization, there is an opportunity for potential tax benefits for a donor. An option to consider is transferring a required IRA distribution to either the Endowment Fund or Capital Expansion Fund held at Edward Jones for KVHS. The Endowment Fund provides yearly income for the museum and assets held in this fund will remain invested in perpetuity. Capital Expansion Fund income is reinvested. Assets in this fund are to remain accessible in the event KVHS is presented with the opportunity to purchase additional properties or make major renovations to the property. Donations other than IRA distributions can also be accepted.
