Bequests

A charitable bequest is one of the simplest ways you can leave a legacy and lasting impact on the Center’s mission. By making a bequest to the Center for the Study of the First Americans through your will, you can retain assets during your life, lessen the burden of taxes on your family, and support the Center!

Retirement Assets

You can name the Center as a beneficiary of your IRA, or pension plan. In doing this, you can minimize the taxes that may otherwise decrease these assets. At the same time you will be supporting the Center!

Life Insurance Policies

You can donate a life insurance policy to the Center or name us a beneficiary.
