Planned Giving

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

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.
