 Five Ways to Give

1. Bequests — By including Historic Saranac Lake in your will, you can make a difference while retaining assets you may need now.
2. Life Insurance — By donating your life insurance policy to Historic Saranac Lake, you may be able to claim an income tax deduction for the current value of the policy. Additionally, you may be able to deduct future premium payments. 
3. Retirement Assets — By making a gift of 401(K), 403(B), IRA, or Pension funds, you may save your estate the burden of paying estate and income taxes on those assets
4. Trusts — By creating a charitable remainder trust, you may support Historic Saranac Lake while continuing to provide for yourself and your loved ones.
5. The Historic Saranac Lake Fund at the Adirondack Foundation — By making a gift now to the Historic Saranac Lake Fund, you ensure our ongoing work into the future.
