Memorials and Tribute Gifts
Honor Someone Special With a Future Gift in Their Name
Whether you discovered golf as a child or during retirement, chances are your connection to golf is deeper than to any other sport. If you have a loved one who feels the same, or maybe a lifelong friend you met on the course, consider a memorial or tribute gift to the USGA in their name.
A memorial or tribute gift is a meaningful way to honor your loved one or celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday while driving the future of golf. Your memorial or tribute gift will be a lasting tribute to your loved one and help the United States Golf Association enhance its service to golfers and the game.
An Example of How It Works
When Sarah's father passed away, she knew she wanted to do something that would establish a lasting legacy for him. She remembered that during his lifetime he was always praising the United States Golf Association for its positive impact on the game of golf.
Sarah decided to make a gift to the USGA in her father's name using appreciated securities. Not only will her father's legacy live on at the United States Golf Association thanks to the gift, but Sarah also received a federal income tax charitable deduction (because she itemizes her taxes) and eliminated capital gains tax on the securities.
