Griffin Giving Circles
Griffin Giving Circles
The Griffin Giving Circles program is named after local schoolmaster, tavern keeper, store owner,
and Oysterponds diarist, Augustus Griffin (1767-1866), who lived on Village Lane. He was a descendant
of Jasper Griffin of England, one of the North Fork’s first settlers and, thus, symbolizes OHS’s
connection and commitment to the breadth and depth of the Oysterponds community’s history.
By participating in the Griffin Giving Circles program and by making a contribution (which is tax deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law), you will help fortify OHS’s financial health during some very challenging times and position us to continue, and even expand, our activities for the East Marion and Orient communities.
The five circles or giving levels are…
• Platinum Circle – $10,000
• Gold Circle – $7,500
• Silver Circle – $5,000
• Bronze Circle – $2,500
• Friend Circle – $1,000
Choose your giving level and make your donation HERE – donation form will open in a new window.
As always, if you would prefer, you may send a check to: Oysterponds Historical Society, PO Box 70, Orient, NY 11957.
For information on how to donate stocks or securities, please call the OHS office at 631-323-2480.
Planned gifts help OHS remain a vibrant community asset for generations to come. There are many flexible ways to provide a lasting legacy by including us in your will or other estate plans. We encourage you to consult with your financial advisor and/or legal counsel for more information to make a planned gift.
