How to Donate Artifacts or Heirlooms to SAHM
We accept artifact donations and family heirlooms that support our mission of preserving and protecting historical items of our cultural area. If you have items that you would like to consider donating to us, we are more than happy to talk to you. We cannot promise to accept any item without seeing a description and photograph, but do promise to consider almost any gift.
By law, we are not able to appraise your item or otherwise assign value to it. We do recommend that you consult a certified antiques appraiser if you need to know your item's value for income tax purposes. Since we are a legal non-profit, any items you donate to us are fully tax deductible, but talk with your personal tax adviser if you have questions. All items donated to us become our sole property at the time of the donation, and you will be required to complete a Deed of Gift and read our Terms and Conditions for Artifact Donations.
The good news for you and your family is that you will have the comfort and peace of mind knowing that your family's heirlooms will be professionally preserved, protected, and treasured by us and will be shared with all that are interested in our unique history. We welcome your questions and comments on this topic.
If you would like to retain ownership of your donation instead of transferring its ownership to us, we can certainly talk about a permanent or temporary loan. We have documents on file to send to you BEFORE you make any decision regarding the placement of your or your family's precious historical items. Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding donations of any sort via email at southarhm@gmail.com.
