Planned Giving

Help the Fairbanks Museum meet the needs of today and tomorrow while preserving the Museum’s timeless character.

Legacy Match

This year, you can amplify your impact—creating lasting change today and for generations to come.

Turn Your Vision Into Action

When you include the Fairbanks Museum in your estate plan, an inspired donor will honor your commitment by making a matching cash gift of up to $25,000 to the Museum today. This extraordinary opportunity transforms your
future generosity into immediate support for the programs you love.

Here’s how it works:

1. Include the Fairbanks Museum in your estate plan.
2. Let us know about your intended gift.
3. Your commitment will signal a generous donor who has pledged to contribute 10% of your future gift’s value — up to $25,000 — to support the Museum today.

It’s simple. It’s impactful. And it’s a way to make a difference right now and for years to come.

Through the Legacy Match, your thoughtful planning provides critical support now, helping us secure up to $100,000 in matching gifts that sustain the Museum’s mission.

Thank you for considering this meaningful opportunity. If you have questions or would like to discuss this opportunity further, please reach out via phone or email: (802) 748-2372 or akane@fairbanksmuseum.org.
By participating in the Legacy Match program, you create immediate support for the Museum’s mission today while ensuring its programs inspire and educate for generations.

Leave a Legacy

Planned giving is finding ways to make charitable gifts now or after your lifetime while enjoying financial benefits and the joy of knowing you’ve made a difference.

Unlike cash donations, planned gifts are typically made from assets in your estate rather than disposable income. The most common planned gift is a bequest in your will or living trust. Other planned gifts include:

• A charitable gift annuity
• A charitable remainder trust
• A charitable lead trust
• An endowment trust
• Retirement plan assets
• Life insurance policies
• A remainder interest in your home

Please contact Adam Kane or Anna Rubin at the Museum for more about ways you can leave a legacy for generations to come. Call us at 802-748-2372.

Let us know how we can show you what a difference planned gifts make to support the Fairbanks Museum’s core activities: education, exhibits, weather/climate, collections, planetarium, facilities, and leadership.

Your generosity through current gifts and planned giving commitments ensures that the Museum will thrive long into the future.
