ASHS encourages corporations and organizations engaged in any aspect of horticulture to contribute to the Endowment Fund. 5. Many corporations have matching funds whereby charitable and educational donations by employees will be matched in full or in part by the corporation. Check with your employer for details. These ensure that the American Society for Horticultural Science can support its goals for many years to come. Donations to the Fund constitute deductions for U.S. federal income, estate, and gift tax purposes.
Similar deductions are available for most corresponding U.S. state taxes.
Expenditures from the fund will not exceed the earnings from invested funds. The corpus of the fund is maintained. Funds will not be used to support research projects or to cover ASHS administrative costs. Please make your contribution payable to the ASHS Endowment Fund.
