PHOTO BY CHERON BAYNA The Art of the Bequest a unique pLanned giving option Most of us, if given the chance, would like to contribute to a cause that will positively impact others for generations to come. A charitable bequest is the simplest way to create a lasting personal legacy that will benefit the Museum of New Mexico and all who treasure its cultural riches. Bequests allow you to remain in control of your assets during your lifetime, are inexpensive to create and can reduce estate tax burdens. They can be made with cash, stock, art or real estate. For these reasons and more, bequests account for half of all planned gifts. BuilD yOur BEquEsT Follow these three easy steps to a meaningful bequest: • Decide the amount, purpose and beneficiary of your gift. • Inform the Foundation of your bequest so that we ensure your intentions will be carried out. • See your attorney to create or modify your will. ExprEss yOur BEquEsT Use this sample language to begin crafting your bequest: “I give, devise and bequeath to the Museum of New Mexico Foundation, a non-profit corporation in the state of New Mexico, the sum of $ (or % of my estate) (or all of the residuary of my estate) to be used for (options include, but are not limited to: general purposes, endowment, exhibitions, educational programs, for the foundation or a specific museum).” To discuss options for making a bequest or other legacy gift, contact Bonnie McLeskey at (505) 982-6366 ext. 113 or bonnie@museumfoundation.org. PHOTO BY CLARE LIGHTON Bud and Valerie Hamilton A Personal Bequest Story By Bud Hamilton, Foundation Board Chairman Last year, my wife Valerie and I decided to make a legacy gift — also known as a planned gift — to the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. We had been considering this action for many years, but the current economic malaise and our perception that legacy giving is too complex created the perfect storm of reasons to delay. Like many financial calculations, planned giving must be weighed carefully in light of each individual’s and family’s circumstances. These decisions can be complicated, involve considerable uncertainty and concern death — something none of us like to think about. Hence, we often put off these matters for another day, another year. Today we know that legacy giving doesn’t have to be that hard. If you’re having difficulty getting started, you might consider the approach we took: a bequest. Bequests allow a donor to designate in their estate plan a specific amount, or percentage, to be given to the Foundation or one of the cultural institutions it supports. Giving options include endowment, exhibitions, education or other vital museum or division needs. Our bequest benefits the Foundation’s Endowment Fund and its long term ability to support our museums. In setting it up, we discovered that bequests are simple, inexpensive and can be made revocable should your life’s circumstances change. Most important, bequests allow you to make a commitment now while giving you time to consider other options later. Legacy gifts are vital to the long term financial stability of the Foundation and its cultural partners. The Foundation honors your generosity with membership in the Legacy Society, a group that enjoys exclusive gatherings and special recognition. Valerie and I hope that our story will inspire you to join us in the Legacy Society in 2012. Your decision today guarantees your legacy will endure through the good work of our cultural institutions. Remember, it doesn’t have to be complicated, so there is no reason to delay. 13
