Planned Gifts

Planned gifts provide the resources that create extraordinary opportunities while insuring the future of the Museum.

Giving options from which you can choose:

• You don't have to use cash to make your gift — you may donate appreciated securities instead. The deduction is the same as for a cash gift, and you pay no capital gains tax on the transfer.
• You may give an asset like a life insurance policy whose coverage your family no longer needs, or real estate like a second home or a collection of artwork.
• You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime — the Museum can be a beneficiary of your will or revocable trust, or of your retirement plan.
• You can make the Museum a partner in your giving — you can deed your home while continuing to live there.
