Legacy Society and Family Foundation Gifts

 

COSI's Legacy Society was established to assist in building a strong endowment for COSI and to honor those individuals who provide for COSI in their wills and estate plans.  A legacy gift that includes COSI demonstrates an enduring commitment to our mission to advance science literacy.

We encourage COSI supporters and friends to designate a gift in their estate plan and become founding members of COSI's Legacy Society.  A legacy can be made in a variety of ways: through a bequest in a will, through a gift that returns income for life, and/or through appreciated securities.  In many cases, legacy gifts have significant tax and financial rewards for donors.

COSI is enriched by the support of family foundations that help fund vital educational and outreach programs for schools.  Foundations also provide ongoing financial support for exhibitions and day to day operating expenses.
