Are You Short-Changing Your Family?

Make a Gift in a Few Easy Steps

Not everyone wants to commit to making a gift in their wills or estates. Some prefer the increased flexibility that a beneficiary designation provides by using:

IRAs and retirement plans
Life insurance policies
Donor advised funds
Commercial annuities

It is very simple to name the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts as a beneficiary. Start by requesting a change-of-beneficiary form from your policy administrator or download the form from your provider's website. Make your desired changes and return the form to establish your gift.

An Example of How It Works

Longtime museum member Jay Adams has a dual perspective on the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. He served on the Board of Trustees as the museum was preparing for its 2010 expansion, which was instrumental in making Richmond a must-see destination for art lovers. As a native of Fauquier County, Jay is also attuned to the VMFA's impact beyond the capital region.

Next Steps

Contact the administrator of your retirement plan, insurance policy, or bank account for a change-of-beneficiary form, or simply download a form from your provider's website.
Decide what percentage (1 to 100) you would like the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to receive and name us, along with the percentage you chose, on the beneficiary form. Return the completed form.
Contact Marie Hawthorne, Senior Development Officer, at 804.340.1335 or marie.hawthorne@vmfa.museum to let us know your goals for the gift so we can ensure it is used as you intend.
