Planned Giving – Cahoon Museum Anchors

We invite you to learn more about Cahoon Museum Anchors, a recognition society for those who help to secure the Museum’s future with a planned gift. When you add the Cahoon Museum to your estate plan, you are making a lasting and permanent difference for the Museum and the community.

Cahoon Museum Anchors and their families gain financial and tax benefits. Anchors are those who have included the Museum in their estate plans, made bequests, or made deferred gifts to benefit the Museum. The Museum also welcomes gifts of stock and securities. Gifts of securities provide a charitable deduction, and if the gift is made with appreciated securities, you will incur no capital gains tax.

Cahoon Museum Anchors: A Legacy of Support

In 2006, Founders Keith and Rosemary Rapp donated the historic Crocker home and surrounding land to the Cahoon Museum of American Art so that the Museum would always have a permanent home. The Cahoon Museum Anchors recognize this transformational gift and honor those who have made bequests, included the Cahoon Museum in their estate plans, or made deferred gifts to benefit the Museum into the future.

“As a Cahoon Museum volunteer and board member, I see first-hand the important work being done here to support local and regional artists, and it’s inspiring. The innovative exhibits and educational programs are an asset to Cape Cod,” said Jean Entwistle, a volunteer at the Cahoon Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and at the Asia Society in New York City.

The Museum is vibrant and growing, and that comes with a cost. Being part of the Anchors program and knowing that I make a difference is important to me. The Museum has brought me joy, and I can help that wonderful spark continue.”
