“TAM excels at welcoming us and connecting our community through art. Because I firmly believe art gives meaning to our lives and helps us understand things we wouldn’t otherwise, I have singled out TAM to receive continued support through my estate plan.”

Ways to Leave a Legacy
There are many ways you can establish your support for Tacoma Art Museum:
Establish a bequest for TAM through your will or living trust
Making a gift through your will or living trust is one of
the easiest ways to support an organization into the
future. Speak with your legal advisor about including
language designating your favorite organization(s), such
as Tacoma Art Museum, as part of your estate plan.
Make TAM a beneficiary of your retirement plan (such as an IRA, 401(k), or 403(b)) or life insurance policy
Most retirement plans, annuities, and life insurance policies let you decide in advance how your assets will be distributed after your death. They do this by asking you to designate beneficiaries, such as Tacoma Art Museum, on a beneficiary designation form.
Explore a variety of other planned gift options:
- Leave real estate property or other assets to TAM
- Establish a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) with TAM as the beneficiary
- Discuss other options such as a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) or a Charitable Lead Trust (CLT) with your financial advisor
Consult with your financial advisor to find the best option for you.
