Annual Memberships
Your membership and financial support are important for the continued success of the Rhinelander Historical Society Museum. New memberships and donations are always welcome. For your convenience, we have included the form below. This same form may be used for a new membership or to upgrade to a new category. Upgrades are created by cumulative cash donations. This helps the Historical Society with the on-going Museum expenses. Thank you for your support and generosity. The Rhinelander Historical Society Inc. (a 501c3 nonprofit organization) was incorporated in 1991 so your donations will qualify as tax deductible for income tax purposes.
Consider a tax-free gift from your IRA
An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a great way to put money aside for retirement, and after you have taken care of yourself and your loved ones, you may consider a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to help support non-profit organizations like the Rhinelander Historical Society. At age 70 ½ or older, you are eligible to make a QCD directly from your IRA account to a tax-exempt charity like the Rhinelander Historical Society, up to $100,000. If transferred directly from your account to the charity, the amount you give will not be subject to federal income tax. If you are required to take a required minimum distribution (RMD), you may also give all or part of your RMD as a QCD and the amount you give will not be subject to federal income tax. Please talk to your financial advisor to determine if this type of gift is an option for you. Rhinelander Historical Society is grateful for your generosity.
Planned Giving
We also ask that you please consider including the Rhinelander Historical Society in your estate planning. A transfer of cash, securities, or other property can be made by including language in your will or living trust, leaving a portion of your estate to the Society, or by designating the Rhinelander Historical Society as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy. As stated above, the Rhinelander Historical Society is a 501(c.)(3) Charitable Organization and contributions are tax-deductible for income, gift and estate taxes. Our Federal Tax Identification Number is 39-1721684. We sincerely thank you for your consideration.
