OMG! OAHA’s Monthly Giving Program (OMG stands for a Once a Month Giver)
With so much uncertainty in the world today, your monthly support will allow OAHA to continue our mission of preserving and
promoting the historical significance of the Oxford area, educating the community on historical interests, and encouraging the
economic vitality of the Oxford area through historic preservation. Even $5 or $10 a month could make a significant
difference.

Program Sponsorships
OAHA presents eight programs of local historic interest per year. All programs are free, open to the public, and are recorded
and archived for future use. While OAHA is committed to keeping all of our programs free, we need your help to make this
possible, as there are costs associated with presenting them. Please consider giving a gift to the Oxford Area Historical
Association in support of the continued success of our history education programs.

The Crossroads Society – Leaving a Legacy for OAHA
The Crossroads Society recognizes those friends who have chosen to honor OAHA with a planned
or deferred gift. By creating a personal legacy, you also create a lasting legacy for OAHA. Your gift
through your estate plan, large or small, is critical to OAHA’s future survival. We would like to
recognize you as a member the Crossroads Society, unless you prefer anonymity. If you have already
remembered OAHA in your estate plans, please let us know so we can thank you and make a plan to fulfill your wishes
at the time the gift is realized.
OAHA uses estate gifts to support preservation and education priorities at the time the gift is realized unless otherwise
specified by the donor. If you would like your gift to be used to support a specific program, please contact us to ensure your
wishes will be met.

Charitable Bequests
While there are many ways to plan for the future of your assets, charitable bequests are one of the easiest ways
you can leave a lasting impact on OAHA. A bequest gift may be made in your will or trust directing a specific dollar
amount or a percentage of your estate. All charitable bequests to our organization are deducted in full from the
value of your estate in the calculation of estate taxes, which can significantly lessen the burden of estate taxes on
your family.
Sample Language
If you wish to name the Oxford Area Historical Association in your estate plans or name us as a
beneficiary of your retirement accounts or life insurance, please name us as follows:
"I, [name], of [city, state, ZIP] give, devise, and bequeath to the Oxford Area Historical Association, a Pennsylvania
non-profit corporation located in Oxford PA, [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of
property]."
OAHA’s tax identification number is: 23-3045756
As a nonprofit organization, the Oxford Area Historical Association relies on the generosity of our friends and
supporters to make this work possible. OAHA excels at doing a lot with a little, and we are able to do that
because of the extraordinary support we receive from the community. Between gifts, grants, and program
support, a full 99% of our funding comes directly from people in our local area.
OAHA exists because of you.
