Our planned giving website provides information on a variety of ways to support the OHS while receiving benefits such as lifetime income, income tax deductions, and reduced estate taxes in the future.

Endowments
Endowment funds of the Oklahoma Historical Society are placed in one of several OHS funds in the Oklahoma City Community Foundation. These funds are managed to provide income in perpetuity to the OHS and to allow the investments to grow in value, thereby providing increased income to the OHS in the future.
Donors may contribute to one of our funds at OCCF directly or they may work through the OHS Development Office to make such donations. In addition, donors may specify that they want their funds managed for the OHS by the Tulsa Community Foundation or the Communities Foundation of Oklahoma.
