Leave a Legacy of Discovery
Some gifts continue to inspire long after they are given.
By including the Springfield Museums in your estate plans, you can help ensure that future generations experience the joy of discovery through art, history, science, and imagination.
A legacy gift reflects your values and helps preserve extraordinary collections, create inspiring experiences, and welcome curious minds for generations to come.
When you include the Springfield Museums in your plans, you’ll be welcomed into the Legacy Society, a community of supporters whose thoughtful generosity is helping shape the Museums’ future. Members enjoy special recognition, invitations to exclusive events, and behind-the-scenes experiences.
Choose the Option That's Right for You
There are many ways to leave a lasting legacy, including:
- Bequest: Include the Springfield Museums in your will or living trust with a gift of a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or a particular asset.
- Retirement Account: Name the Springfield Museums as a beneficiary of your IRA or other retirement plan.
- Life Insurance: Designate the Springfield Museums as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
- Charitable Gift Annuity: Support the Museums while receiving fixed payments for life.
We’re happy to provide information and work with you and your professional advisors to explore the option that best fits your goals.
