Gardiner Museum

Legacy Giving

The Museum is generously supported by individuals, corporations and foundations. These donors help the Gardiner maintain the exhibitions, collections and programs enjoyed by the larger community. In fact, less than 8% of the Gardiner’s annual operating budget comes from the public sector. Donors help us expand our collections, facilitate our education and outreach programs and sustain our annual exhibition schedule.

There are several ways you can give:

1. Make a donation
2. Become a Patron Circle Member. Click here for benefits and details.
3. Make a gift of personal life insurance or stock
4. Make a provision to the Museum in your will or estate plan 

For your gift you will receive a tax receipt for the maximum amount allowable by law. You will also be recognized in the Museum's donor listings.

MAKE A PLANNED GIFT

A planned gift is a deferred gift which may be realized by the recipient institution at some point in the future and includes life insurance, stock and other provisions. Although many people believe that estate planning is only for the wealthy, it is important for everyone to arrange the disposition of their estate. Also, there are tax advantages to donors who give a gift during their lifetime. Gifts may also be tailored specifically to meet personal and financial goals.

Planned gifts represent an important source of future income and assets for the Gardiner Museum. For more information about making a planned gift to the Gardiner Museum, please contact Sheila Snelgrove, Executive Assistant & Secretary to the Board, at +1 416.408.5051.
