Leave a Lasting Legacy
A planned gift to the Holland Museum can help preserve the stories, collections, and places that connect generations of our community.
Whether you are considering a gift through your will, trust, retirement account, life insurance policy, or another arrangement, we welcome the opportunity to help you explore a meaningful way to include the Museum in your plans.
A Gift That Reaches Beyond a Lifetime
Planned gifts can provide long-term support for the Holland Museum while allowing you to reflect your own values, priorities, and connection to the community. Your gift can help future generations encounter the objects, stories, and historic places that make Holland’s history tangible.
Ways to Include the Museum in Your Plans
There is no single approach that is right for every donor. These are some common ways people choose to make a future gift.
Bequest in a Will or Trust
Include the Holland Museum in your will or living trust while retaining control of your assets during your lifetime.
Retirement Plans & Beneficiary Designations
Name the Holland Museum as a beneficiary of an IRA, retirement plan, or life insurance policy.
Other Planned Gifts
Other gift arrangements may also be appropriate depending on your goals. We welcome a conversation with you and your professional advisors.
Finding the Approach That’s Right for You
Planned gifts can have different legal, financial, and tax implications. We encourage you to speak with your attorney, financial advisor, or tax professional as you consider your options. The Holland Museum does not provide legal or tax advice, but we are happy to discuss your charitable intentions and answer questions about the Museum.
Your Gift, Your Intentions
You may choose to make your planned gift anonymously, direct it toward a particular area of the Museum’s work, or allow the Museum to use it where the need is greatest.
A conversation with us can help ensure that your intentions are understood and that the Museum can honor your wishes appropriately.
