Other Ways To Support The Museum

In addition to making a cash contribution to the A.T. Museum, you can contribute non-cash financial assets to help us with our work.
​

Make A Qualified Distribution From Your IRA

​If you have an IRA and you’re over age 70 ½, you can make a distribution to the Museum and,
​in many cases, avoid additional taxes.
CLICK HERE for more information
​
Give The Gift Of Appreciated Stock
If you’re looking for a tax-smart way to help our work, consider a gift of stock. 
CLICK HERE for more information.
​
Name The Museum In Your Will Or Other Estate Document

A charitable gift from your estate is a common method of giving that enables you to achieve your financial goals
and benefit the Museum. No other planned gift is as simple to make or as easy to change,
​should you ever need the assets during your lifetime.

Designate The Museum As A Beneficiary

​Not everyone wants to commit to making a gift in their wills or estates. Some prefer the increased flexibility that a beneficiary designation provides by using: 
  • IRAs and retirement plans
  • Life insurance policies
  • Donor advised funds
  • Commercial annuities
​
It is very simple to name the Museum as a beneficiary. Start by requesting a change-of-beneficiary form from your policy administrator or download the form from your provider's website. Make your desired changes and return the form to establish your gift.
​

Our official name is Appalachian Trail Museum, Inc. If your provider needs our federal EIN, it is 30-0127417.
