legacy giving

“One of the world’s greatest art museums.”

–John Maizels, Editor of Raw Visions magazine

Regardless of the size of your estate, a legacy gift can secure the museum for future generations. We can share gift planning ideas that will benefit you and your family, while creating a lasting impact at our national museum. The different types of gifts include outright bequests, life income plans (charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts), charitable lead trusts, gifts of life insurance policies, and gifts of tangible personal property and art.
