Bequest Gift

Bequest and Estate Giving

If you feel a close connection to the accordion and preserving and showcasing its heritage and culture, we invite you to consider including the museum in your Will. By doing so, you will contribute to the management and conservation of our unique collection of accordions and accordion related items for future generations.

Donors who remember the Museum in their Wills will benefit the institution in many ways, helping to build and maintain its collection and providing valuable support for exhibitions, scholarly publications, conservation efforts, and a range of educational activities.

A bequest is one of the simplest ways to provide for our A World of Accordions future and can take many forms.

You may arrange for the Museum to receive:

1. a specific dollar amount
2. specified assets, such as securities, real estate, or tangible personal property
3. all or a percentage of the remainder of your estate after all other obligations (a residuary bequest)
4. a contingent bequest, making A World of Accordions the beneficiary only if the named beneficiary is unable to accept the bequest

You may make a bequest to A World of Accordions by preparing a new Will or adding a codicil to your present Will.
 
An outright bequest to the Museum is fully tax-deductible for estate-tax purposes.
