Giving
MDHCA exists because of your donations, whether through a monthly check, yearly donation, or small donations tacked onto a book order or membership renewal. Every dollar counts and helps us keep our doors open to the public and our archive available for research.
You can also include the Mojave Desert Heritage and Cultural Association in your will or trust. Gifts through wills and living trusts are simple to arrange and may be changed at any time. All you need to do is ask your accountant or attorney to make or update your will to include a provision to make a gift to the MDHCA. Please be sure to include our Federal Taxpayer ID# 33-0549275. By making a gift to the MDHCA in your will or trust, you can still retain control of your assets during your lifetime and provide for loved ones, while supporting our exploration, research, education, and preservation activities. We can also put your gifts of real estate, stocks or mutual funds, IRAs and life insurance to good use. Please tell us about your gift so that we can recognize you in our upcoming Goffsgrams, Mojave Road Reports, and at Rendezvous!
Any amount helps and we appreciate your generosity and support.
