Legacy Gifts

Your ongoing donations to the Mazer Archives are vital to keeping our doors open and maintaining the archival material. And yet your support through Wills and Living Trusts are the insurance (no pun intended) that the Mazer Archives will be properly funded in future years. Both donations are vital and needed. Both kinds of donations allow us to continue archiving and maintaining the lives of lesbians for future generations and the present to enjoy.

Wills and living trusts

A bequest to the Archives gives you access to your money during your lifetime and then provides us with resources once you are gone. If you have questions about leaving a legacy gift, you can access additional information here. Please note that you do not have to leave all of your estate to the Mazer but can choose to leave a percentage or specific amount.

To make sure your exact intentions are carried out, wills (or codicils) or Living Trusts should be prepared with your attorney’s advice. A bequest to the Mazer Archives can be in the form cash, securities, real estate, personal papers (i.e. diaries, love letters, etc.) or other property. If you are considering a gift of appreciated real estate, please contact us for advice on how best to meet your charitable objectives.

Named or Anonymous?

When you leave a legacy gift, please include whether you choose to be named or remain anonymous. If you are named, and have given us written consent, we will thank you in our publications and mailings. If you remain anonymous, we will protect your privacy and ensure your name is not listed. In either case, the specifics of your donation is kept confidential.
