Leave A Legacy: The Max and Sophie Adler Society

In 2004, the Adler Planetarium Board of Trustees created the Max and Sophie Adler Society to honor our museum’s founders and their vision. This society recognizes members of our community that leave the Adler a life-income gift or bequest—providing support and blank for years to come.

Members of the Max and Sophie Adler society are recognized within our virtual donor wall, unless anonymity is requested.

Ways To Give

There are several different ways to become part of the Max and Sophie Adler Society. Giving options include:

Bequest

A gift you make by naming the Adler in your will or estate plan.

Life Insurance Policy, Retirement Plan, or IRA

A gift of an old or new insurance policy or retirement account naming the Adler as beneficiary and owner.

Charitable Lead Trust

A trust pays an income to the Adler for a period of years before you and your heirs receive the remainder.

Charitable Gift Annuity

A gift to the Adler in exchange for quarterly payments to you or your spouse. The commencement date and amount of the payments will be agreed upon at the time of the gift and cannot be changed.
