Donations and Bequests

Current and former employees, retirees, research users, private individuals, corporations, and others have given generously to the Friends of Agricultural Research–Beltsville (FAR-B) and its mission to promote research, educational, and outreach programs at the Henry A. Wallace Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (widely known just as BARC). Gifts sustain FAR-B and its goals and purpose. We are enormously grateful for that support.

Most core gifts come to FAR-B in the form of annual membership dues, Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) payroll deductions, and occasionally as cash or stock donations. FAR-B frequently is asked to suggest how potential donors can plan their giving or how they might structure their giving for now and the future. FAR-B accepts donations and bequests in either of following formats both of which are tax-deductible:

• A general donation or bequest to FAR-B to be used to support its overall mission at BARC. For more information on this alternative click on General Donation.
  
  
• A specific donation or bequest to establish a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) to support a self-selected unit, program, or activity at BARC. For more information on this alternative click on Donor Advised Fund.
