A Lasting Legacy

Each year, LACMA receives support from many thoughtful individuals through their estates. These gifts provide a lasting legacy for the museum and the community.

You do not have to be wealthy to leave a legacy. Planned giving can be as simple as including a bequest provision in your will or naming LACMA as a beneficiary of your retirement plan or life insurance policy. No matter the size, your gift will help ensure that coming generations will enjoy the arts and programming you value today.

We invite you to join others by remembering LACMA as you plan for the future.

  • LACMA's Legacy Circle  
    Join a group of friends who have provided for LACMA in their estate plans.

  • Bequests 
    Provide for LACMA through your will or living trust.

  • Life Income Plans
    Consider making a gift to LACMA that also provides income to you and/or a loved one, through a Charitable Gift Annuity or a Charitable Remainder Trust. Try our new Gift Calculator.

  • Retirement Plans  
    Support the museum by naming LACMA as a beneficiary of your pension plan, 401(k), Keogh, or IRA.

  • Life Insurance 
    Designate LACMA as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy.

  • IRA Charitable Rollover
    If you are 70 1/2 or older, you can support LACMA with a direct transfer of up to $100,000 per year from your individual retirement account.

  • Other Gifts
    Real estate and tangible personal property such as artwork provide terrific planning opportunities for gift and income vehicles.
