Imaginative.Interactive.Inspirational.

Have you ever wondered how you could leave a legacy of scientific discovery and wonder? I invite you to consider including a charitable gift to the Ann Arbor Hands-On Musem in your estate plan. Although it costs you nothing now, you can help ensure that the AAHOM continues to be a leader in imaginative and interactive STEaM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) learning expereinces for generations to come.

There are a variety of charitable giving vehicles that you can use to make a planned gift. Depending on the vehicle, you can meet current and future financial goals, provide for your loved ones, receive tax savings, and even establish income streams.

Contact me to discuss various planned giving options. I can provide you the information you need to talk to your financial advisor or attorney about how you can use charitable legacy giving to support the Museum.

Together, we can create a way for you to help provide for the Museum’s future.

Many Ways to Give & Create Your Legacy

Planned gifts offer thoughtful and creative ways to prepare for the future while generously supporting Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum. Leave a legacy that reflects your passion and remains an inspiration for generations to come.

Your gift can support any aspect of AAHOM including expansion and care of exhibits, statewide educational initiatives, in-class outreach offerings, and improvements to our facilities. Unrestricted gifts offer greater flexibility to meet future challenges and seize new opportunities that are vital to the expansion of the Musuem.

For those with specific philanthropic interests, AAHOM will match your passion of STEaM education with the needs and vision of the Museum. We are committed to developing planned gifts that are meaningful to each donor and tailored to their financial and estate planning goals.

Carefully structured planned gifts can be made during your lifetime or as part of your estate plan. This will provide vital support for the Museum while delivering substantial financial and tax benefits to you or your heirs. We can discuss the advantages of certain charitable gifts and can work with your attorney or financial adviser to create a plan that meets your objectives. The following options are among the simplest ways to give:

Outright gifts of cash or appreciated securities and charitable IRA rollovers.

Make a bequest to AAHOM in your will. Donors maintain control of all assets, if needed, during life and can modify the will if circumstances change.

Name AAHOM as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, IRA, or other retirement plan that will pay benefits contractually to the Musuem after death.

Establish a charitable gift annuity, which will provide a life income stream and substantial tax benefits.

Contact Cory Joyrich, Senior Director of Advancement, to discuss more complex gifts such as charitable remainder trusts.

“My husband loved volunteering at the museum. We brought our kids here. Our kids broughtour grandchildren. Now our grandchilden are bringing their children. We want to make sure the museum can continue to inspire kids of all ages for years to come. That’s why we simply purchased a life insurance policy and designated Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum as the beneficiary.” Hilda B., Dexter, MI

“My wife and I both work for Ford Motor Company and continue to recieve stock over the years. Once the stocks are vested, we are able to donate them to the museum and receive an income tax deduction for the market value of the stock on the date of our gift. Not only is that a benefit to the museum, but also fits within our financial goals.”
