Charitable Gift Annuities


Charitable Gift Annuities (CGAs) are a great way to support the Museum while generating income for yourself and your family. Learn how these gifts allow you to achieve both of these goals.

You can make a substantial impact through The National World War II Museum while you are receiving tax-favorable income for you, your spouse, and your children. Many supporters like charitable gift annuities because of their attractive payout rates and their significant impact.

Benefits to you include the following:

Payments can be made as you prefer on an annual, quarterly or monthly basis.

A portion of the payout will be tax-free.

You receive an immediate tax receipt for a portion of your gift.

Your gift passes to The National World War II Museum outside of the estate process.

You create your legacy of defending freedom by teaching its value and cost.

Charitable Remainder Trusts


Income for life for you and your family while reducing your taxes and supporting the Museum.

By using assets or cash to fund the trust, you receive income and you receive an income tax credit the year in which you transfer your assets. The remaining portion of the trust, after all payments have been made, comes to The National World War II Museum.

Benefits to you include the following:

You receive income for life for you or your heirs.

You receive a charitable income tax credit for the charitable portion of the trust.

You create your legacy of defending freedom by inspiring and teaching through the lessons of WWII.
