Where there’s a will there’s a way to leave Donations to the FOHBC

Did you know the Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors is a 501C(3) charitable organization? How does that affect you? It allows tax deductions for any and all donations to the FOHBC . You might also consider a bequest in your will to the FOHBC. This could be a certain amount of money or part or all of your bottle collection. The appraised value of your collection would be able to be deducted from your taxes. (This is not legal advice, please consult an attorney)

I give and bequeath to the Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors, Elizabeth Meyer, 101 Crawford, Studio 1A, Houston, TX 77002, the sum of $____________ to be used as its Board of Directors determines.

The same type wording could be used for bequeathing your collection or part of it, however, before donating your collection (or part of it), you would need the collection appraised by a professional appraiser with knowledge of bottles and their market values. This is the amount that would be tax deductible.

Thank you for considering us in your donation plans.

John O’Neill, President Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors
