The Gardiner Museum was founded because of the generosity of George and Helen Gardiner who made a significant living gift by establishing the Museum in 1984, and continued their support through planned gifts. The Museum has continued to grow thanks to the generosity of donors who want desire to maintain a connection to an organization they have continually supported, and who want to invest in the Museums development.
If you plan on making a significant gift to the Gardiner in your will that is $25,000 or more, you can choose to establish a Named Endowment Fund to be recognized in perpetuity for your generosity.

How to Make a Planned Gift
The Gardiner Museum is happy to discuss your estate plans. However, as your situation is unique, we encourage you to consult with your personal financial and legal advisors before including the Museum in your will. The Gardiner asks that all donors who have made a planned gift complete a pledge form as a record of their commitment.
If you already have a will, it’s not too late to add a bequest. For a small legal fee, you can add a codicil, or an amendment, to your existing will. Again, we advise you to contact your lawyer or financial advisor for more information.
If you are considering or have made the decision to make a planned gift to the Gardiner, please contact us at 416.586.8080 or
