When you donate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, usually you owe no capital gains tax. Instead, when donating crypto, you receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the crypto, and you avoid the capital gains tax that you would have incurred if you had sold the crypto and then donated to Hudson-Athens Lighthouse Preservation Society.

With planned giving, you have the opportunity to create a lasting legacy and ensure the continuation of the Hudson- Athens Lighthouse Preservation Society's vital work for years to come. When you want to make this bequest, please contact Marilyn Rositzke at 518-828-5294 or email her at treasurer@halps.org.

The Hudson-Athens Lighthouse Preservation Society is currently rethinking memberships! Stay tuned for updates soon.
