Planned Giving
Planned gifts or legacies allow the Institute of Texan Cultures to build its endowment and ensure that the museum is telling the stories of Texans for years to come.
A gift from your estate may reduce your tax burden, increase your income and enhance your family’s legacy.
There are a variety of options, such as a bequest in your will, to life-income gifts, which can provide you with an income during your lifetime before the institute may benefit from your gift. A plan can be developed that will work toward your charitable and financial goals while supporting the institute.
For more information, call your estate planning professional or contact the Advancement Office at (210) 458-2213.

Artifact Donation
The Institute of Texan Cultures produces exhibits that explore Texas’s cultural heritage, focusing primarily on the lifestyles and historical contributions of its varied ethnic groups. The collections staff accepts both donations and loans for exhibition and research.
Artifacts of cultural and unique value are not used for demonstration purposes and are handled only by curatorial staff and trained volunteers. Items are placed in secure, climate-controlled storage until exhibition. Artifacts are researched by our team, who develop the exhibit content.
