Planned Giving

Plan your Gift to the Nasher Museum

Art Inspires. Share the Inspiration.

With a planned gift to the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, you can ensure the inspiration of future generations by making a gift that will provide for the continued collection, preservation, research and exhibition of art of the ages.

Just as art is created from different mediums, so are planned gifts:

  • Life income gifts can provide you and/or your loved ones with an income for the duration of your lives or for a specific number of years.
  • Charitable lead trusts can be used to transfer assets to a loved one with a significantly reduced tax liability.
  • Real estate, tangible property, and securities can be turned into gifts with immediate tax benefits.
  • Bequests, retirement accounts, and other testamentary gift plans can allow you to make a more substantial gift than you imagined possible.

If you plan an estate or life income gift to benefit the Nasher Museum, you are added to the rolls of the Heritage Society at Duke University, which honors alumni and friends who have included the Nasher Museum and/or Duke in their estate plans or have made some other type of planned gift.

For information about the variety of options for making a gift the best fits both your personal needs and the museum’s needs, please contact Kristen Greenaway, Director of Development and External Relations at 919-668-3527 or kristen.greenaway@duke.edu. All inquiries are confidential and without obligation.

A Bequest by Dorothy Lander, WC’43

After graduating from Duke University in 1943, Dorothy Lander (Schulein) (1921-2010) taught English to immigrants via English In Action. She attended Art Students League of New York and volunteered or contributed to many educational, environmental, artistic, social and spiritual organizations. Her passion for education and the arts prompted her to leave a generous unrestricted bequest to the Nasher Museum. With this gift, we are able to support a 2014 exhibition devoted to newly released works by Joan Miró, and expand our free education outreach programming to local K-12 school children. A portion is also invested in the Nasher Museum’s endowment, in an unrestricted general endowment fund.
