Oklahoma Historical Society Launches Planned Giving Website

 

The Development Office of the Oklahoma Historical Society has established a planned giving website to provide information to interested individuals as to how they can include support for the OHS in their retirement and estate planning. The website may be accessed at http://oklegacy.org.

The planned giving website has a wide range of information on an array of gift options, creating your own plan, donor stories, news, a section for attorneys and financial planners, creating your will, and many useful videos. You also will find a welcome video by Development Director Paul Lambert and a video on the mission of the OHS by Executive Director Bob Blackburn.

 

In the near future we will begin sending periodically a special e-newsletter which will contain a wealth of information in sections such as "Personal Planner, Savvy Living, Your Plan, Washington News, and Financial News. There also will be new information directly related to the OHS, as well. If after receiving a few copies of this new e-newsletter you decide that you do not want to receive it, you will find a convenient link to click that will remove you from that mailing list.

 

There are a number of estate planning vehicles available that can provide retirement income, reduce estate taxes, and provide current tax deductions. We hope you will consult this website and e-newsletter as you plan for the future.
