Plan Your Gift To The Museum
While considering the AMFF in your will and estate plans, please keep in mind how important your planned gift is to the future of the Museum. It will set the stage for continued success as we continue to expand and reach generations to come. Thank you for your generous support of our work.
Help preserve the past and make a planned gift to AMFF through your will. Your gift of a bequest will enlist you in our Bequest Society. As a member of the Society, you and your family will accrue special annual benefits year after year, and you will help to leave a legacy that will ensure the Museum’s future.
ESTATE
Through your estate you can either specify a contribution amount or specify a percentage of your estate. If your estate is subject to estate tax, your gift is entitled to an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift's full value
BENEFICIARY
Beneficiary of life insurance or qualified retirement plan such as 401k or 403b or IRA: You may choose to name AMFF as the beneficiary to all or part of your retirement plan. Proceeds of these plans are entirely free from federal estate tax.
LIVING TRUST
This allows you to transfer assets while still receiving annual income from the asset. Additionally, you will receive the charitable tax deduction now (at the time of the gift).
ANNUITY
This allows you to give a fixed donation each year for life.
DONATE TO THE COLLECTION
Our collection is always expanding, and we are continually seeking to acquire artifacts, art, photographs, archival papers, and books to enhance our holdings that we share with the public. Please note we do not accept unsolicited donations—please contact AMFF if you have items you're considering donating.
DONATE TO THE AUCTION

MATCHING GIFTS
Many corporations will match employee gifts to charities which can augment and in some cases double your individual gift. Please inquire about matching gifts with your employer’s human resources department and increase your gift to the Museum – without re-opening your wallet!
