Gifts of Bonds
There are two easy ways to use your bonds to support the Douglas-Hart Foundation:
Gifts of Property
A direct gift is the simplest method of donating real estate by transferring the deed or title from the donor to the Douglas-Hart Foundation. The Douglas-Hart Foundation is interested in any type of property but especially farmland AND undeveloped land with trees and grasses. Did you know the Douglas-Hart Foundation operates a 700 acre farm program in Coles County? Taking over farming operations would be a cinch for the Foundation and help offset our operating expenses that run three sites in Coles County. For more information about our farm operations, please contact:
