Planned Giving

Leave a Legacy

Planned gifts to the Museum of Science have benefits that last a lifetime — and beyond — for both the Museum and its donors.

When you include the Museum in planning your estate, you may be able to reduce your tax burden, increase your income, and create a legacy for your family.

In addition, the Museum recognizes its legacy donors through The Washburn Society.

There are a number of gift planning options, from a bequest in your will to life-income gifts, which provide you with income for a period of time before the Museum may use your gift. The best plan for you will balance your charitable and financial goals while supporting the legacy of the Museum of Science.
