Gifts of Retirement Assets
(Give More for Less)

How it works

	You name the National Air and Space Museum as the beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k) or other qualified plan.
	Any residual left in your plan when you die passes to the Museum tax-free.

Benefits

• You can escape both income AND estate tax levied on the residual left in your retirement account by leaving it to the Museum.
• You can continue to take withdrawals during your lifetime.
• You can change your beneficiary if your circumstances change.
• You can elect to leave retirement plan assets to the Museum through your will or revocable trust instead.
• You can have the satisfaction of knowing that your hard-earned retirement assets will support the Museum when you are gone.
