Planned Giving: An Investment in Your Legacy Will Enhance America's Future

The Planned Giving Office's goal is to build an endowment for the USS Midway Museum. This endowment will allow the museum to provide funds for hull maintenance, new and improved educational facilities, and for general long term sustainability of the ship.

These are the "MidWays of Giving" whereby you can provide support so that your aircraft carrier museum becomes America's living symbol of Freedom.

• Charitable Remainder Trust: provide an income tax deduction, an income stream, and defers or eliminated capital gains tax.
• Security With an Annuity: a unique approach that provides the donor with income today and the USS Midway Museum with security in the future.
  
• Estate Giving Through Your Will or Trust: the most popular type of planned gift through your estate is the easiest!  This gift, called a bequest, means giving through your will or trust.
  
• IRA Gifts: can be an excellent donation strategy that does not report taxable income.
• Gifts of Securities: these can be structured to save on capital gains taxes.
• Donor & Advisor Links: keep current on political and financial matters. You can also sign up for a free weekly online newsletter.
