Lasting Legacy

Planned gifts allow you to shape your future and that of your loved ones while also supporting areas of the Museum important to you.

Giving opportunities can be tailored to meet your specific financial and estate-planning needs. Planned gifts provide financial support for a wide range of activities at the Museum. One of the easiest and most popular giving methods is to include the Museum of Glass in your will. Planned giving means you often can make a larger gift than you might have thought possible while also benefiting yourself.

A planned gift offers many advantages, including the opportunity to:

• Increase current income to yourself and/or your spouse or family.
• Convert low-yielding or non-income producing assets into lifelong income.
• Reduce or eliminate capital gains costs and/or estate tax liability.
• Enjoy a significant income tax deduction.
• Make a significant donation to the Museum of Glass.

Assets that can be used to fund a planned gift include:

• Cash.
• Stocks or bonds.
• Real estate.
• Retirement funds.
• Closely held stock or business interests.
