Planned Giving

There are dozens of creative and flexible ways to make a contribution to the Brooklyn Historical Society. The tax laws may help you to accomplish multiple goals with your money and give more to BHS than you thought possible.

Bequests
Bequests can be made through a will, insurance policy, trust, or other financial device. By including the Brooklyn Historical Society in your will, you can associate yourself forever with this important institution and ensure that it enriches lives for generations to come. You may make a bequest to BHS by preparing a new will or by adding a codicil to your present will. To make certain that your exact intentions are carried out, wills and codicils should be prepared by or with the help of your legal advisor. Please let us know if you have already included BHS in your will. We would love to acknowledge your generosity.
