The Art of Creating a Legacy


You can leave a lasting impact through a planned gift to the Vero Beach Museum of Art.  A legacy gift is a testament to your confidence in the future of the Museum and is a way to a leave an enduring connection to an institution you are passionate about. By including the Vero Beach Museum of Art in your estate plans, you are providing endless opportunities for engaging with art, inspiring visitors for generations to come, and impacting our community in meaningful ways.

There are many types of planned gifts. The easiest way to make an impact is through a gift in your will or living trust.You can gift a specific amount of money or a percentage of your total estate. This allows you the flexibility to change your mind at any time and your estate may benefit from a federal estate tax charitable deduction for the amount of the gift.
