CONSIDER US!
The Clarkston Community Historical Society is an IRS approved 501c-3 charitable organization, meaning that any donations made are fully tax deductible. But of even greater value will be the knowledge that your donation is a reinvestment in the community you love. That’s because the mission of the historical society is to preserve and protect Clarkston’s rich history.
Donations to the historical society can be made in several ways. Direct gifts of cash or check are the most common, but some other alternatives you may want to consider include:
- Memorials, Gifts in Memory or Gifts in Honor are all possibilities
- Clarkston related artifacts for use in our museum , or non-Clarkston related antiques which we can sell to support our operations
- Estate assets specified in a will or other estate-planning documentation, such as a living trust
- An endowment gift that will be invested to generate income
- Naming the historical society as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy
- Matching gifts through your employer, which will effectively double the amount of your donation (check with your employer to see if they offer this benefit)
Thank you for your consideration and, of course, feel free to call our office with any questions, 248-922-0270. You can fill in the information below to send in your donation. Thank you again!

Your membership supports the mission of the historical society: to preserve and protect Clarkston’s rich history.

We cannot express enough how much we appreciate the partnership as members together we can ensure Clarkston’s past will not be forgotten, but protected and cherished in a manner that all the community can enjoy.
