A habitable planet needs a healthy ocean—and a healthy ocean needs all of us.
One powerful way to take action is by including the New England Aquarium in your will or long-term giving plans, helping to protect the ocean for generations to come.
Make a lasting impact
A legacy is more than just a gift; it’s a meaningful and lasting expression of your values. It's a way to ensure the important work of organizations you believe in continues well into the future.
By creating a legacy, you can:
- Honor your personal values and those of your loved ones
- Continue the traditions and support the places you cherish
- Preserve the programs and organizations that mean so much to you
- Show your commitment to your community and the world around you
Support ocean conservation
Throughout the Aquarium’s 55+ year history, our goal has been to ensure a vital and vibrant ocean for future generations. By taking action for the ocean together, we can work towards a vital and vibrant ocean for all.
Our work to advance marine conservation, conduct innovative scientific research, inform policy decisions and industry practices, and empower youth leadership depends on supporters like you.
Financial benefits
In addition to supporting the Aquarium’s conservation work, your planned gift can provide substantial tax and financial advantages, including:
- An income tax deduction
- Reduced capital gains taxes
- Reduced probate costs and estate taxes
There are several federal incentives to encourage your contributions. By taking advantage of these opportunities, you and your advisor can craft a contribution that fits your needs, while supporting the Aquarium. A well-planned gift makes it possible for you, your loved ones, and the Aquarium to benefit.
