The Old Threshers Foundation supports a growing, thriving Midwest Old Settlers and Threshers
Association. The experiences people share at the Old Threshers Reunion and in touring the
Heritage Museums are priceless. Families come from miles around to join in a walk through the
past. Please help us preserve, nurture and protect our historical agricultural treasures for
future generations to enjoy.
There are number of ways you can show your support for Old Threshers. If you wish to help
but do not want to affect your current assets, a bequest in a will or trust is the best
method. Drawing up a will can be the first step towards a wise financial plan for you and
your family. Gifts of appreciated stock, property and other assets are always welcomed.
Support through deferred giving provides benefits for both the donor, thru tax considerations,
and for Old Threshers. It has been said that, "Whatever you spend is gone. What you keep,
someone else gets. What you give is yours forever." Please know that your gifts to Old
Threshers are greatly valued and truly appreciated.
The Old Threshers Foundation is a non profit 501(c)(3) organization. Donations are tax
deductible in accordance with IRS regulations and laws.
If you are interested in giving, please feel free to call Midwest Old Threshers at
319-385-8937.
