The Rebecca and Seymour Fromer Legacy Society
Your legacy gift makes the Magnes vision a reality
The Rebecca and Seymour Fromer Legacy Society celebrates its most committed supporters while also honoring its founders Rebecca and Seymour Fromer.
We are available to partner with you to make certain your gift satisfies both your financial and philanthropic goals as well as the needs of the Magnes.
Make a Planned Gift
Through the Rebecca and Seymour Fromer Legacy Society, a planned gift to the Magnes could be the smartest investment you ever make. UC Berkeley’s Office of Gift Planning offers creative and flexible strategies for you to pursue your charitable and financial goals while supporting the museum work most important to you. What works for you depends on such factors as when you want the gift to take effect, your desired level of control or involvement, whether family or other beneficiaries will be involved, and tax implications.
To discuss the possibility of making a planned gift, please contact UC Berkeley’s Office of Gift Planning at 800.200.0575, ogp@berkeley.edu, or planyourlegacy.berkeley.edu Let them know you are interested in giving to the Magnes and they will be in touch with us.
If you have already made provisions in your estate plans for the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life and would like to join the Rebecca and Seymour Fromer Legacy Society, please let us know.
We will also honor your enduring commitment by inviting you to join the Benjamin Ide Wheeler Society, Berkeley’s community of gift planning donors.
“We were daring. We were imaginative. We were undefeatable.”
