Help shape the future of discovery and preservation by leaving a gift in your Will to the Natural Sciences Museum. Your support ensures that our mission to protect, explore, and share the wonders of the natural world continues to inspire generations to come.

Every legacy gift—no matter the size—makes a lasting impact, enabling us to conserve our priceless collections, create engaging exhibits, and develop educational programs that foster a deeper understanding of our planet’s past, present, and future.

If you decide to include the Natural Sciences Museum in your Will, please let us know. This allows us to express our gratitude and keep you informed about the Museum’s ongoing work and future plans. You can contact us at [email] or [phone number].

Your thoughtful gift will ensure that the Natural Sciences Museum continues to educate, inspire, and innovate for years to come. Together, we can preserve the stories of our planet and empower future generations to protect it.

Thank you for considering leaving a legacy with us.

 A gift in your Will helps us:

Preserve Collections: Protect and conserve invaluable specimens for future generations.

Educate and Inspire: Develop innovative programs that ignite curiosity in young minds.

Advance Research: Support cutting-edge scientific studies that shape our understanding of life on Earth.

Create New Exhibits: Bring the wonders of natural history to life for millions of visitors.

Additionally, charitable gifts are generally free from Inheritance Tax, Capital Gains Tax, and Income Tax, meaning your generosity will have its full intended impact. 

There are several ways to leave a gift in your Will:

Pecuniary Legacy: A specific sum of money.

Residuary Legacy: A share or percentage of your estate after other commitments are fulfilled.

Specific Legacy: Particular items of property, stocks, or shares.

If you already have a Will, a simple amendment, known as a codicil, can ensure your wishes are fulfilled.
