Your estate or planned gift to the Bakersfield Museum of Art helps to protect and preserve collections, supports virtual and on-site educational programs, and enables us to bring special exhibitions to the Museum. Thousands of visitors every year – and scores more through our social media channels – access BMoA’s temporary exhibitions, permanent collection, educational programs and special events each year.
The Museum is happy to work with you to accomplish your estate planning goals. Gifts can be revocable or irrevocable and designated to our general operating fund or restricted to an endowment, project, or program of your choosing.
There are many way to make a planned gift in support of BMoA. Some options include:
Charitable gift in your will (bequest)
Gifts of cash
Retirement fund
Life insurance
Other
We ask that you notify us of your planned gift, so that we may appropriately acknowledge your generosity during your lifetime.
