Planned Giving Society

Liberty Science Center offers many planned giving opportunities, all of which can be tailored to meet your specific financial and estate-planning needs. A planned gift offers many advantages, including the opportunity to:

  • Increase current income to yourself and/or your spouse or family.
  • Convert low-yielding or non-income producing assets into lifelong income.
  • Reduce or eliminate capital gains costs and/or estate tax liability.
  • Achieve a significant income tax reduction.
  • Leave a legacy of lifelong learning.

By planning now, you may be able to enjoy a significant charitable income tax deduction for the current tax year. Using appreciated securities to fund a planned gift offers capital gains tax savings and may also help you reduce your estate tax liability.

Liberty Science Center’s Planned Giving Society recognizes and honors those friends and donors to the institution who have thoughtfully provided for Liberty Science Center’s future. By including Liberty Science Center in your estate plans, you are ensuring that Liberty Science Center will be able to continue to build upon the strength of its innovative exhibitions and education programs for many decades to come.
