Frye Forever Legacy Society

By including a gift to the Frye in your long-term plans, you join Frye Forever—a legacy society for people who believe art museums should welcome and inspire everyone.

Your future gift can support the Frye’s endowment, general operations, or reflect your passion for community programs, the Frye’s permanent collection, or contemporary art. Frye Forever members receive special recognition and invitations to appreciation events.

To join, simply let us know that you plan to include a gift—of any size or type—in your estate plans.

Making a bequest is an easy way to provide an estate gift to the Frye. Bequests of all sizes make a big impact and ensure a thriving future for the museum.

The wording of your bequest will vary depending upon the type of gift you want to make. You may choose to designate a percentage, a specific dollar amount, or the remainder of your estate to the Frye.

Sample language is available here. We encourage you to consult with a qualified estate attorney or advisor to draft or review your language with respect to applicable federal and state laws and your wishes for intended use.

A named endowed fund can be established in your name or in honor of a loved one who sparked your creative spirit. It’s a permanent investment in the Frye that provides continued support to an area of the museum’s work that is most important to you

Named endowed funds can be established with a minimum gift of $100,000. Please contact us for more information.
