The Washington State Historical Society depends on the generosity of individuals, corporations,
and foundations to support exhibitions, educational opportunities, and outreach programs
across our state. Learn how you can donate to the Society and help support our mission.
Two Easy Ways to Give!
*Charitable gifts are tax deductible when received by the Washington State Historical Society
without the exchange of any goods or services, including but not limited to membership benefits.
Corporate Matching Programs
You can double—and in some cases triple—the value of your donation to the Washington State Historical
Society through your employer's matching gift program. Do you or your spouse or partner work for a matching gift company?
Not sure? Check this
list of employers
with matching programs, or contact the matching
gifts coordinator in your company's Personnel, Human Resources, or Community Relations department to obtain a matching
gift form. Just complete the matching gift form and mail it to the Society with your gift.
Planned Giving
Planned gifts allow you to combine your financial needs with your philanthropic goals.
These are typically gifts of assets, rather than gifts from income. Planned giving incorporates many
forms of financial, tax and estate planning benefits, and is tailored to your needs.
Contact your tax or legal advisor, or a planned giving representative for assistance in
creating the planned gift that fits your goals. The Greater Tacoma Community Foundation
can provide you with resources to learn more about planned giving.
