Heidelberg Cemetery Co.
Donations, Grants and Estate Planning:
This is a way to help the cemetery increase trust monies. The interest earned on the trust monies can then be used for future care of the grounds, buildings, and roads.
Donations to qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations are tax deductible under U.S. federal law (IRS Code §170), allowing donors to deduct those gifts from their taxable income.
Refer to IRC 170(c)(5) which permits the deduction of contributions to a cemetery in IRC Section 501(c)(13). The contributions must be dedicated to the care of the cemetery as a whole and not for the benefit of a specific grave. For example, a contribution of $100 to a cemetery’s maintenance fund can be deducted as a charitable contribution.
Estate Planning:
Through careful gift and estate planning, you can help to assure long term financial stability of the Heidelberg Cemetery Company for generations to come, and leverage potential tax benefits. Please consult your estate planner and contact us for further details on designating Heidelberg Cemetery Company as a beneficiary for the purpose of perpetual care.
