For married couples, each of you can donate up to your individual annual limit.

Bequest Intention: Many of the Tuskegee Airmen National Historical Museum’s (TANHM) past achievements have been made possible by legacies from friends. Your will or trust could help shape TANHM’s successes in the future.

Retirement Assets: Retirement accounts such as IRAs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s, other employer-sponsored plans, and financial accounts can be powerful tools for legacy giving. Naming the Tuskegee Airmen National Historical Museum (TANHM) as a beneficiary can be a simple and tax-efficient way to make a lasting impact.

Life Insurance: Life insurance is often overlooked as an asset that you can use to make gifts to the Tuskegee Airmen National Historical Museum (TANHM). You may wish to make the museum the beneficiary of a policy and support TANHM programs with an insurance-related gift.

Real Estate and Other Non-cash Assets: Gifts of real estate, business interests, or other non-cash assets can provide significant tax benefits while supporting the mission of TANHM. These planned gifts allow you to make a meaningful impact without affecting your current cash flow.

Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA): A Charitable Gift Annuity is a simple way to support TANHM while receiving a steady income for life. You make a gift of cash or appreciated assets, and in return, you receive fixed payments, part of which may be tax-free. The remaining value of your gift will support TANHM. A CGA also provides an immediate tax deduction and can help supplement your retirement income.

Charitable Remainder Trust: A charitable remainder trust (CRT) is a life-income arrangement that provides you and/or other beneficiaries with a stream of income for life or years. After the trust ends, the remaining assets are directed to support the Tuskegee Airmen National Museum and Flight Academy. It’s a flexible way to meet personal financial goals while making a lasting impact.
