Planned Giving
People who believe in our mission often would like to give more, but they must balance that desire with the personal requirements and the financial security of their loved ones. The following ideas suggest ways in which you can support the Jerome Historical Society after you are gone and still meet your needs and those of your family.

Leave a gift in your will to the Jerome Historical Society. Just 8% of all wills settled in Arizona contain a charitable provision.
