O Street Museum Foundation: Giving; Planned Giving

John Lennon

Legendary songwriter, musician, artist and pacifist John Lennon embodies the mission of the O Street Museum Foundation through his own personal journey of evolution and exploration.

Always growing Lennon continued to promote messages of peace and love though his lyrics, music and performance art.

The O Street Museum Foundation is proud to continue his efforts and pay tribute to this visionary with a collection that includes art, architecture, letters and rare studio performances that showcase his genius.

Our support of Jonhn Lennon’s mission extends beyond the O Street Museum Foundation. When The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame needed help funding an exclusive exhibit focused on John Lennon, the O Street Museum Foundation’s founder raised $1m in cash and another $500,000 in-kind networking equipment to help bring this exhibit to life.

Bequests

One of the simplest ways to support the O Street Museum, a bequest provides a gift for the museum in your will or trust. A bequest is not subject to Federal or state estate or inheritance taxes and is deductible in calculating your taxable estate.

Life Insurance & Retirement Fund Accounts

You can provide now for a future gift to the museum by naming the O Street Museum Foundation as beneficiary of your life insurance and/or retirement plan. Naming the Foundation as beneficiary is a seemless, cost effective way to ensure your gift is administered to your specifications.

Real Estate

Donating your residential, commercial or undeveloped property will be used to support the Museum while providing you with excellent tax benefits and reducing the responsibilities of ownership.

Remainder Trust

Establishing a charitable remainder trust is a great way to ensure you and your loved ones receive designated regular lifetime payments and the O Street Museum Foundation receives the remainder at the end of the life of the trust.

Securities

Donating appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds is quick, simple and may provide you with significant tax benefits.
