How you can help
Looking ahead, especially in the face of financial challenges for non-profit organizations posed by the 2017 federal tax law changes, they urge their donors to consider how significant their contributions and gifts to smaller, local non-profit organizations such as theirs will be in the current year and in the years head. Particular needs of the CCHS are: restoration projects for our historic properties, including their National Historic Landmark, 18th century Dutch Colonial, “Luykas Van Alen House”, as well as other conservation and preservation activities with their collections, while your contribution of unrestricted funds gives them the overall support that can help with their day-to-day challenges and operations.
