A Simple Way To Leave A Legacy
The important work of the GPHS is supported
mainly by private contributions from individuals
and foundations. Your support is essential to our
operation.
Please help us keep the stories and traditions of
our remarkable community and its past a part of
our lives today with a contribution.
We are indebted to our donors who have includ-
ed the Grosse Pointe Historical Society in their
wills and trusts. Insurance policies, IRAs, or
annuities are an easy way to leave money to the
Society. Future residents of Grosse Pointe will
benefit tremendously from these thoughtful gifts
to continue to preserve our heritage.
Sample Language

the sum of $____________ (or_________ % percent)
of my estate, as finally determined for the estate tax
purposes, to the Grosse Pointe Historical Society
(GPHS), a non-profit 501(c)3 organization located
in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, to be used in
furtherance of its charitable purposes.”
