Give from Your IRA

If you are 70½ or older, you may be able to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to the museum. A QCD can be a tax-efficient way to support the museum while satisfying all or part of your required minimum distribution.

Please consult your financial or tax advisor to determine whether a QCD is right for you.

Contact our Executive Director, Michael Perekrestov, at mperek@russianhistorymuseum.org, for more information and assistance.

Donating appreciated securities can be a tax-efficient way to support the museum.

Make a Legacy Gift

Include the Russian History Museum in your will or other estate plans and help preserve our collections and mission for generations to come.

Unrestricted legacy gifts give the museum flexibility to respond to future needs and opportunities.

For suggested estate-planning language, please contact Michael Perekrestov, Executive Director, at mperek@russianhistorymuseum.org.

The museum’s collections have grown through the generosity of donors who have given us artifacts, books, photographs, documents, and other materials relating to Russian history and the Russian diaspora.

Because we have limited space and resources, we review all potential donations to determine whether they fit our collecting priorities.

Please contact Michael Perekrestov, Executive Director, about in-kind gifts at mperek@russianhistorymuseum.org.

You may also be able to support the museum through donor-advised funds, employer matching gifts, and other charitable giving methods.

If you have questions about the best way to make your gift, please contact Michael Perekrestov at mperek@russianhistorymuseum.org. We are happy to help.

Thank You!

Whether you make a gift today, donate an item from your family’s history, or plan a gift for the future, your generosity helps ensure that these stories and treasures endure.
