Planned Giving
Leave a lasting gift for future generations of children.
Planned gifts are not only an impactful way to show your support for DISCOVERY Children’s Museum, they may help increase the size of your estate by reducing the burden on your heirs.
Giving Options
Bequest: A gift you make by naming DISCOVERY Children’s Museum in your will, living trust or estate plan.
Retirement Plan, Life Insurance and Other Beneficiary Designations: DISCOVERY will accept a gift of life insurance provided that the policy has a positive cash surrender value and DISCOVERY has been named both beneficiary and irrevocable owner of the policy.
IRA Charitable Rollover: DISCOVERY will accept gifts directly transferred from an IRA as permitted under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and subsequent extensions.
Charitable Gift Annuity: A gift to DISCOVERY in exchange for quarterly payments to you or your spouse. The minimum amount to establish a new gift annuity is $10,000. DISCOVERY will voluntarily adhere to the maximum rates recommended by the American Council on Gift Annuities.
Charitable Remainder Trust: A trust pays income to you—or those you name—before DISCOVERY receives the remainder. DISCOVERY will serve as trustee of charitable remainder trusts under certain provisions.
