Support

The Players Preservation Fund is the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation charged with restoring and preserving the historic building at 16 Gramercy Park South and its essential infrastructure.

Recently we celebrated the tenth anniversary of our founding, when we began our award-winning restoration of the building’s crumbling façade. We have accomplished a great deal since, and have much work ahead of us. This includes the replacement of the exterior roofing that protects our clubhouse and its precious contents, as well as restoration of HVAC climate control to the Great Hall, Kinstler Room and much of the second floor.

As you can imagine, the club's managing team is always encountering new challenges in maintaining our 175-year-old landmark house. We work to support their efforts.

There are many ways to make a tax-deductible contribution to The Players Preservation Fund.

I.

Support the Fund by major credit card or PayPal.

Give a gift to the Fund using Zelle at president@playerspreservation.org.

II.

III.

Mail or drop off a check payable to The Players Preservation Fund, Inc. at 16 Gramercy Park South, New York, NY 10003.

IV.

Make a contribution of stocks or bonds.

If you are age 70½ or older, you can still donate up to $100,000 of your retirement distribution to charity this year and avoid paying taxes on those dollars.

V.

  • Rather than counting as a deduction, the amount gifted to charity is simply excluded from income. This makes the strategy particularly beneficial for those who now take the standard deduction instead of itemizing.  Consult your financial advisor for your options.

You can designate the Preservation Fund as a beneficiary of your estate.  A number of members have decided to include us in their estate planning.

VI.

You can designate the Preservation Fund as a beneficiary of an I.R.A. so that the money you leave to us will go directly to good works rather than being subject to high taxes.

VII.

A number of supporters have had their contributions matched under their employer’s matching gift program.  Please check your company’s matching gift program to see if it will match your deductible contribution to the Preservation Fund.

VIII.

Please consider establishing a stream of support. It means so much to the Preservation Fund to have your ongoing contributions.
