Pass assets to children
and reduce transfer taxes

Members and friends who wish to make a substantial gift to the Museum over a period of years, who own an income producing asset that is appreciating, and who want to ensure that their property will ultimately pass to loved ones may be interested in a Charitable Lead Trust. Instead of directing income payments to the donor, this type of trust provides income payments to the Museum for a specified number of years. After that term, the trust assets are transferred to younger beneficiaries the donor designates, with a substantial deduction on the gift or estate taxes in consideration of the income stream to the Museum.
