Monies and property given or bequested to the Society are applied by the Board of Trustees strictly to the purposes for which the Society has been incorporated. The Society is a nonprofit organization, and gifts made to it are deductible for income tax purposes.

The form that such donations should take when by will is the following:: "I give, devise and bequeath to the American Society for Psychical Research,Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York, the sum of......dollars for the corporate purposes for said Society."
