May is Leave a Legacy Month: a time to consider how charitable giving can make a lasting impact. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the values and causes that have shaped your life, and to plan for how you can support them well into the future.
Why Leave a Legacy Gift?
Glenbow is deeply grateful for those who choose to include the museum in their legacy giving plans. These generous gifts make a meaningful impact, helping us steward and share art, culture, and history for generations to come.
Your support is especially meaningful as we work toward Glenbow Reimagined: a once-in-a-generation transformation of the museum into an inclusive, accessible, and innovative cultural hub. Legacy gifts play a critical role in ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of this bold vision for our future.
Ways to Leave a Legacy
There are several ways to include Glenbow in your legacy giving plans:
- Gift in your will: This can be as simple as designating a residual, specific, or contingent gift to Glenbow after your loved ones are cared for.
- Gift of life insurance: This allows you to make a significant impact with a relatively small investment today, often with added tax benefits.
- Gift of art: Donating art can be a meaningful way to contribute to Glenbow. Gifts of art are carefully assessed to ensure they align with the museum’s mission and collection priorities.
- Give today: Making a gift now allows you to see the immediate impact of your generosity. It also supports key initiatives like Glenbow Reimagined and helps shape the future of the museum today.
Make a Lasting Impact
Whether you want to support new exhibitions, educational programming, or collection preservation — or simply ensure your gift goes where it’s needed most — your generosity will have a lasting legacy.
This Leave a Legacy Month, we invite you to think about the future you want to help build. Your legacy can inspire, educate, and enrich lives for years to come.
