Legacy Giving
Legacy gifts can affect our institution for generations to come.
Providing a gift through your will, retirement plan, or insurance policy is one of the simplest ways to support the future of the Maryland Science Center. After your lifetime, your gift provides valuable resources to support our mission and make a difference in the lives of future generations.
Legacy gifts may provide unrestricted operating support or can be directed to specific programs and initiatives.
Through my contribution I hope the Maryland Science Center keeps growing. Science is constantly changing, and the public will always need the Maryland Science Center to support science knowledge and offer invaluable experiences for children and adults.
– Mary Hyman, Maryland Academy of Sciences Legacy Society Member
Become a Legacy Society Member:
To become a member of our Legacy Society, just inform us of your intent to leave a gift to the Maryland Science Center. Your membership allows us to thank you and recognize you for the plans you have made, and it may inspire generosity in others. However, if it’s your preference, we will keep your plans confidential.
Members of the Legacy Society are recognized (with their permission) in a special section of our Annual Report and on our donor wall. Additional benefits of membership in the Society also include an invitation to the annual Legacy Society Luncheon and access to special events throughout the year.
But the most important benefit is the knowledge that you will inspire people of all ages to pursue and appreciate the sciences long after your lifetime.
Important to Know:
Young people must be taught the “a-ha” as well as the awe of science, and this happens both inside and outside the classroom. People of all ages need exposure to real science – not pseudoscience. What better way than the fascinating and factual exhibits and programs of the Maryland Science Center?
