Gift Planning with Winterthur
Museum & Country Estate

		You can make a gift to Winterthur that costs you nothing during your lifetime. About Jay | His Gift
		You can support Winterthur and receive income for life. About Richard and Sandra | Their Gift

Winterthur is a national treasure, and we are all entrusted with the responsibility of preserving it for future generations. Your dedication to our great American country estate makes you a partner in this important endeavor. You want to help us sustain Winterthur's preeminence by supporting us financially, but you may have concerns about your own future financial needs and those of your family.

Winterthur is grateful for your commitment, and we want to help you make the gift that is best for you. That's why we want you to know about some of the financial tools that may help you as you embark on your gift and future planning.

• You don't have to use cash to make your gift - you can donate appreciated securities instead, and avoid the capital gains tax.
• You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime - make us a beneficiary of your will or revocable trust, or a beneficiary of your retirement plan, and maintain your current financial status.
• You and Winterthur can partner in your giving - you can make a gift that pays you lifetime income, you can deed us your home but continue to live there, or you can sell us property at a charitable discount.
• You can give an asset you no longer need or can care for - such as a life insurance policy that you no longer need, a parcel of real estate such as a second home or undeveloped land, or a collection of objects or books that you no longer have room to display.

These tools are called planned gifts, and this Web site can help you learn more about them. If you already know something about your gift options, click on Ways to Give and go right to the planned gifts that you want to read more about. If you're not sure how a gift can meet both your charitable and personal goals, go to Benefits of Giving to learn how planned gifts work and how they can increase your giving ability.
