Legacy Giving
Let Your Legacy Grow at Wave Hill
Leaving a planned gift to Wave Hill is a powerful way to make your legacy one of beauty, peace, and community. Giving in this way makes you a true visionary by ensuring this special place is here for generations to come.
Unrestricted gifts provide the greatest flexibility for the future needs of Wave Hill. If you wish to restrict a gift, we encourage you to support one of the broad program areas—arts, education, or horticulture—or to the endowment, which helps provide long-term stability.

Bequest through a Will or Trust
A bequest can be made as a specific gift, a percentage of your estate, or a residual gift—what remains after other commitments are provided for. Bequests are flexible and revocable, meaning you can change them if your circumstances change.
Beneficiary Designation on a Financial Account
Naming Wave Hill as a beneficiary on a retirement account/IRA, life insurance policy, donor-advised fund or other account is a simple way to include Wave Hill as part of your legacy. Just contact your account administrator with Wave Hill’s information.
Seek the guidance and advice of your financial or legal adviser to determine what type of giving works best for you.
