Beginning in 2008... the Campfire Legends Society honors generous
friends who provide estate gifts to strengthen The Museum of Western
Art, preserving the heritage and art of the American West.
Recognized in Europe and across the United States, Eanger Couse
(1866-1936) helped establish the Taos Society of Artists. |

Understanding that preserving America’s cultural treasures requires
dedication and financial resources, the Board of Directors invites
you to consider making a planned gift to the Museum of Western Art.
If you own fine art that would enhance the Museum’s collection, we
would consider it a privilege to help your family craft a charitable
donation to occur through your will and give your collection a
larger viewing audience. Our staff can also explain many other
options, from a simple bequest of a specified percentage or amount
of your estate... to a life insurance gift... to a variety of
popular life income gifts. (These provide annual distributions to
the donors and then, at their deaths, leave the remainder in the
fund to assist the Museum.)
The Museum
does not require donors to disclose specific details of their estate
plans. Instead, we ask for a simple letter that states a family’s
intention to include the Museum of Western Art in their estate plan.
Of course, we will also be delighted to help you create a plan to
further your philanthropic goals—from sharing a prized collectible
to establishing a permanent endowment for a specific purpose.

Three Funds for
our Future |
| |
|
Permanent Endowment
This
fund is never spent, but invested for safety and growth. Annual
income from endowment can be spent for operating and capital
projects.
Cultural Enrichment
Gifts
to this fund help the Museum plan with confidence the expansion
of services, facilities and collections.
Greatest Need
A
flexible fund which gives the Board of Directors the
responsibility to use gifts to this fund wherever they are most
needed at the time. These gifts may or may not be spent
immediately. |
