MOAH Legacy Society
Become a part of the MOAH Legacy Society by remembering the museum in your estate planning. Your legacy contribution will secure MOAH’s future as a community institution and unique conservator of technological history.
What type of assets can I include in my estate planning for MOAH?
Cash: a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate
Publicly traded securities (stocks, bonds, etc.)
Real estate: a primary residence or other real estate holdings
Retirement plan gifts (IRAs, 401K, etc.): If left to an individual beneficiary, most retirement plans are subject to income taxes. Nonprofit institutions, however, do not pay income or estate taxes on such distributions. A beneficiary designation form can be obtained from a retirement plan administrator.
Life insurance: paid-up life insurance policy, gifted as part of an estate or by adding MOAH as a designated beneficiary
Personal property: any type of personal property that may be used to further the museum’s mission
MOAH recommends consulting with your own tax professional if you are planning to bequeath an asset to our museum. Making a planned charitable gift may require the assistance of an attorney, financial planner, or CPA to help establish your contribution.
Questions? Contact MOAH's Executive Director at (650) 321-1004 or exec@moah.org.
If you have included a gift to MOAH in your estate planning documents, please fill out the Legacy Society Form.
