Museum members and friends who wish to ignite imagination, inspire learning, and nurture growth through play can help Port Discovery prepare for the future by making a planned gift or bequest to the Museum.

The information that follows suggests ways to provide a lasting legacy to Port Discovery Children’s Museum, thereby enriching the lives of many generations to come. By making a planned gift or bequest to Port Discovery Children’s Museum you can:
  • Reduce taxes on your estate through a Bequest, your Retirement Plan or Insurance Policy (the IRA Rollover is back!)
  • Receive income for life through a Charitable Remainder Trust
  • Pass assets to your children and grandchildren and cut transfer taxes
    through a Charitable Lead Trust
  • Give your home to the Museum, receive a tax deduction, and continue to live in it with a Retained Life Estate
Museum members and friends committed to ensuring the Museum's future for generations to come with their planned gifts are automatically inducted into the Museum's legacy society.

Members of the legacy society receive invitations to exhibition openings and exclusive Museum events.

If you have made a provision in your will or trust to benefit the Museum or if you plan to do so, please inform us of your generosity
