Planned Giving

Planned Giving

The Fenton has teamed up with the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation to offer planned giving opportunities for our members and friends. Planning fo the Fenton's future is a task we can undertake now. A few of the options are to add the Fenton to your will, and donate gifts of securities, life insurance or property. Another option, the Gift Annuity, makes it possible for you to receive high returns on an asset for the rest of your life and then results in a charitable contribution to the Fenton History Center. Former Board of Trustee member J. Mathews Hagberg is chairing the Planned Giving program here at the Fenton. If you have questions or just want to talk about the possibilities of helping secure the Fenton's future, please do not hesitate to call Joni Blackman, Director at (716) 664-6256.
