Legacy Gifts
A Legacy Gift ensures you have all of your resources during your lifetime. Then your legacy helps support the Mazer after you are gone. When you include June L. Mazer Lesbian Archives in your will or estate plan, you ensure that your contribution lives on.
You can gift 2 ways
You can make a Gift to the Mazer through your Will or Trust (note the Mazer doesn’t have to be the sole beneficiary).
You can name the Mazer as a Beneficiary of your IRA or qualified retirement plan, insurance policy, or bank account.

If you're 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to the Mazer and it can count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year, tax-free.
It's a smart, simple way to make a big impact. To make a gift from your IRA:
Contact your IRA administrator to request a Qualified Charitable Distribution and have the check made payable directly to the June L. Mazer Lesbian Archives.
Let us know your gift is coming so we can properly thank you and provide the necessary documentation.
