Leaving a Legacy with The Newark Museum of Art
The Newark Museum of Art partners with donors like you to build a lasting legacy for you and your loved ones. We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to visitors and supporters who have made bequests and planned gifts to the Museum since its founding in 1909. These generosities make it possible for us to care for our collections and deliver educational programs to growing and diverse audiences far into the future.
"The act of giving is personal and I feel a connection to the Newark Museum and its people. I made a planned gift because the Museum is dear to my heart and I want my legacy to include a commitment to its future."
