Share your passion for the Computer History Museum through a lasting legacy with the most common type of planned gift: a bequest, in which a donation is made to the Computer History Museum in your will.

There are several different types of bequests, see below for details. You may make a bequest of your choice to the Museum by preparing a new will or by adding a codicil to your present will - a simple statement specifying the beneficiary organization and the gift. You may choose to bequest a particular dollar amount, a percentage of your total estate, securities or other property.

To make certain that your exact intentions are carried out, wills and codicils should be prepared by, or with the advice of your attorney.

If you have already chosen to include the Computer History Museum in your estate plans, please do let us know by contacting us at 650-810-1026 so that we may assist you in carrying out your donation wishes.

Specific Bequest

The particular amount that you wish the Computer History Museum to receive is specified.

Residuary Bequest

All or a portion of an estate after debts, taxes, expenses and other bequests have been made will go to the Computer History Museum.

Contingent Bequest

If the named beneficiary is unable to accept the bequest, the Museum steps in as the beneficiary.

Maximize your contribution to the Computer History Museum by confirming whether your employer or parent company will match your gift. Contact your Human Resources Department regarding your company’s participation.

Corporate matching gifts count toward your Museum membership. If your company does match gifts, then please obtain a matching gift form from your company’s Human Resources Department.

Mail or fax your gift to:

Attn: Development Department

Computer History Museum
1401 N Shoreline Blvd.
Mountain View, CA 94043

Fax: (650) 810-1055

Donations may be made in the form of appreciated stock. Gifts of stocks or bonds held for more than one year provide you with an income tax deduction for their full fair market value and allow you to avoid the capital gains tax you would have paid had you sold them yourself. The method of transferring securities depends upon whether you hold the certificates yourself or in a brokerage account.

Securities can be transferred directly to the Museum’s stock transfer plan through Morgan Stanley. Contact Matthew Ives at MS, 650-853-4072 to assist you.

Please, however, notify the Computer History Museum independently at 650-810-1026 so that we can be sure this donation transaction is completed.
