Planned Giving

Planned giving is about planning for the future. What kind of world will future generations inherit if we let the promise of 'never again' fade into history? The Holocaust compels us to ask that question and act on it. That was the promise the survivors made. Building a permanent memorial on the National Mall was part of that promise; so is the imperative to move from memory to action.

Today, we need your help to secure that promise for the future.

Through your charitable planned gift to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, you will ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust remain a moral compass for humanity. Your legacy will be a trust for the future that stands for authenticity in the face of assaults against the truth; that challenges indifference and confronts unchecked hate. Your legacy will teach generations that follow about the fragility of freedom and the personal responsibility for safeguarding democracy.

Every gift of any size makes a difference and is valued. Museum planned giving professionals can help you craft a legacy to meet your unique financial, tax and estate planning goals while securing the Museum's mission. There are many options, but designating your planned gift to the Museum's Endowment is one of the most powerful ways to secure the survivors' promise.
