Leave A Lasting Legacy

Contribute to the Canmore Museum’s future by planning for a special kind of gift. Planned giving provides opportunities for those who are interested in making a charitable gift to the museum through their will or other legacy giving options.

A legacy gift provides the donor with tax benefits while ensuring the museum’s leading role in building a stronger, more connected community through art, culture, heritage and our mountain environment.

Legacy gift donors are encouraged to have their plans reviewed by their professional advisors and to notify the museum of their intentions.

GIFTING A DONOR ADVISED FUND,
RETIREMENT PLAN, OR INSURANCE POLICY

One easy way to include the museum in your estate plan is to name the Canmore Museum as a beneficiary of your donor advised fund, retirement plan, or life insurance policy. It only takes three simple steps to make this type of gift. Here’s how to name the Canmore Museum as a beneficiary:

1. Contact your retirement plan administrator, insurance company, bank or financial institution for a change-of-beneficiary form.
2. Decide what percentage (1 to 100) you would like us to receive and name us, along with the percentage you chose, on the beneficiary form.
3. Return the completed form to your plan administrator, insurance company, bank or financial institution.

WILLS + LIVING TRUSTS

You want to leave money to the Canmore Museum in your will. You also want the flexibility to change your will in the event that life circumstances change. You can do both. In as little as one sentence, you can complete your gift. This type of donation to the museum in your will or living trust helps ensure that we continue our mission for years to come.
