Legacy Giving

There’s a reason the museum matters to you.

Perhaps you have memories of visiting the museum as a kid and now bring your own family or friends. Perhaps you’re a member or volunteer who’s generously donated your time or money to support our work. Perhaps you believe in our mission to be a forerunner of better education and engagement with the sciences in our community.

You have an important connection with us, and a legacy gift is the perfect way to continue that relationship. A legacy gift is...

  • Easy to arrange—Set up a legacy gift with ease now, and revise it without hassle in the future

  • A benefit to everyone—Legacy gifts provide for you, your loved ones, and the museum

  • Fit for anyone—You don’t have to have a lot of wealth or a huge estate to make a legacy gift
