PLANNED GIFTS
Many donors have found planned giving to be a meaningful way to support Longyear. Charitable bequests, charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts may be funded with cash, stock, real estate or other assets.

The financial benefits from these gifts include the provision of an ongoing income for the balance of the donor's and/or beneficiary's lifetime, the possible bypass of capital gains taxes and a charitable income tax deduction for having made the gift.

Charitable Bequest
One way of establishing a planned gift to benefit Longyear is by making a provision in one's will or living trust.

Charitable Gift Annuity
The Charitable Gift Annuity is a simple agreement between a donor and the Museum. The donor agrees to make a gift of cash or stock, and in return Longyear agrees to pay the donor a fixed amount of income each year for the balance of the lifetime of the designated beneficiary.

Charitable Remainder Trusts
The most flexible planned giving program is the Charitable Remainder Trust, which can be tailored to meet a wide variety of estate planning objectives.

If you would like more information on planned giving please contact the Director of Development, John Mitchell at 1-800-277-8943 ext. 230, or contact him via .
