Matching Gifts

Enhance your giving with an employer matching gift. Many companies have Matching Gift Programs that can double or triple the amount of your gift. Please inquire if your employer or your spouse's employer has a matching gift program.

Gifts of appreciated securities can afford you significant tax benefits such as offsetting a capital gain event during the tax year. If you donate appreciated stock you will receive a deduction for the full market value of these appreciated securities on the day of transfer to the South Fork Natural History Museum.

You can help SoFo by underwriting specific projects, programs, events and activities. Some of these include the purchase of teaching materials such as accurate 3-dimensional models of animals and plants to show internal structures, or providing funds for the taxidermy of birds and mammals.
