Planned Giving – Genesee Country Village & Museum

Planned Giving

Create a Lasting Legacy

Your commitment means that thousands of future visitors will become lifelong learners, create lasting memories with family and friends, and access the incredible history, art, and nature of our region. Whether a new or returning guest; young or young-at-heart; a nature lover, history enthusiast, or art buff; gifts like yours ensure this special place continues expanding for everyone to keep learning and growing together.

By including GCV&M in your estate plans, you are giving a gift to future generations of Museum visitors. Your gift can support the Museum’s educational operations or a specific program and can have significant tax benefits.

With proper preparation, you can create a legacy at the Museum while also providing benefits for you and your family both now and in future years.

Contact Director of Development, Alison MacKenzie, at amackenzie@gcv.org or (585) 294-8252 with questions or to discuss your plans.

“You don't have to be an extremely wealthy person to leave something to an organization that is meaningful to you. It doesn't have to feel overwhelming or impossible - it was easy to add GCV&M as a beneficiary in my retirement account.”

“We wanted to make gifts to institutions that promote historical education and learning. As a world-class living history museum in our own backyard, GCV&M was a clear choice for our support.”

“My gift will help GCV&M continue to grow and be a place that children want to keep coming back to visit.”

“GCV&M holds a very special place in my heart, so I've included it in my estate planning. Time marches on, but I hope my donation helps ensure that GCV&M endures for generations.”
