Museums across Ohio would be thrilled if you contacted your state representatives and urged them to vote YES on a new tax check-off bill that would allow individuals to donate money from their tax returns to museums!
Click here to visit the blog of the Ohio Association of Historical Societies and Museums to learn more. There is even a neat tool to help you find the addresses for your representatives!
This legislation is known by two different names: Senate Bill 60 and House Bill 75.
The money collected from the tax check-off will be used to fund a local history grant program to be administered by the Ohio Historical Society. OHS will not be eligible for grants. Museums like ours will be able to apply for much needed funds to keep programs afloat or even start new ones.
Please take a minute to write or call your representatives! In this economy, every little bit helps as we strive to provide our communities with quality exhibitions and programming.
THANK YOU!!
