WHAT WILL YOUR LEGACY BE?

Make a simple but transformational gift today to ensure a lasting future for the Holocaust Center for Humanity.

No matter the size of your legacy gift, you are helping ensure that the past does not repeat itself through your investment in Holocaust education for generations to come.

By establishing a legacy through a bequest or another planned gift, you will ensure:

  • The Center can continue to grow and reach more students each year with its programs and outreach to teach the lessons of the Holocaust;
  • The Center's museum will have a lasting future in downtown Seattle and continue to be a place where students and community members can come and learn the stories of local Holocaust survivors;
  • Generations of students will understand the consequences of hate and indifference
  • The Center will continue to be a place for scholars to present to an audience of educators and community members on topics that connect the past to the present

MAKING A LEGACY GIFT IS EASY.

  • Bequest: A charitable bequest can be directed in your will or trust. The amount or percentage that you direct to the Holocaust Center for Humanity can be changed at any time throughout your lifetime. See below for sample language.
