The Santa Cruz Valley Historical Society (SCVHS) works in conjunction with the Greater Green Valley Community Foundation (GGVCF), a well respected local organization with an established track record of fiduciary responsibility.  

With your help, we hope to have a SCVHS fund established soon. 

Cash donations are an easy way to contribute.  

We welcome online donations via Zelle, Facebook and checks sent to our USPS mailing address. 

Per the Donor Page of the GGVCF website, the following gifts and assets can help SCVHS accomplish  community miracles as we work together to educate through preservation:

Investment & Retirement Accounts

IRA/Roth IRA, Bank Accounts & Annuities 

Real Estate & Life Insurance Policies

Give together through "Giving Circles"

“A giving circle is a form of participatory philanthropy where groups of individuals donate their own money or time to a pooled fund, decide together where to give these away to charity or community projects and, in doing so, seek to increase their awareness of and engagement in the issues covered by the charity or community project.  Many circles, in addition to donating their money, also contribute their time and skills to support local causes.”

Turn IRA or Qualified Plans into a "Legacy Endowment"

"When someone passes away, retirement assets are included for estate and income taxes – often up to 86%.  Funding a charitable legacy endowment with an IRA or retirement plan prevents the bequest from becoming a liability of your estate, and your end-of-life donation is made with pre-income tax funds.”
