Legacy Giving

The Legacy Society at Discovery Place gives you the opportunity to create your lasting legacy at one of Charlotte’s most beloved institutions.

What Will Your Legacy Be?

The world we live in today has been shaped by those that have come before us — teachers, researchers, scientists, inventors, artists and philanthropists — whose actions have improved our lives and inspired us to make a similar contribution to our community. The Legacy Society at Discovery Place gives you the opportunity to create your lasting legacy at one of Charlotte’s most beloved institutions.

How To Become a Legacy Society Member

Most people join the Legacy Society by simply letting us know they have included Discovery Place, Discovery Place Nature, Discovery Place Science or Discovery Place Kids in their estate plans. Wills, trusts, IRA rollovers, retirement plans and life insurance policies are just a few of the ways that you can permanently support our mission to bring science, nature and design together to create transformative experiences that enable our community to understand, enjoy and apply science to their lives.

Legacy Society Benefits

Your expressed commitment to include Discovery Place in your financial planning will be recognized by membership in the Legacy Society. In appreciation of your generosity, you will receive invitations to special events and programs, as well as receive formal acknowledgement on the donor wall located in Discovery Place Science.
