Legacy Society

Legacy Society

The Japanese American National Museum Legacy Society is a group of people who have arranged a future gift to JANM in their estate plans. They share a common bond of commitment to the future of JANM and acknowledge the importance of the Museum in preserving the rich heritage and cultural identity of Japanese Americans to promote understanding and appreciation of America’s ethnic and cultural diversity by sharing the Japanese American experience for future generations. As often as possible, they get together to share stories and learn more about JANM’s exhibitions and programs. We look forward to welcoming you to the Legacy Society and thanking you today for your future gift.

JANM supporters transcend several generations and your future gift sends a message to your loved ones about your values; it may also encourage them to follow your example and do their part in supporting JANM for future generations. 

You are free to decline recognition, and there is no obligation to attend our gatherings, but we hope you will enjoy some or all of the privileges, which include:

• A JANM Legacy Society pin and certificate as a forever reminder that you play a role in the life of JANM and its mission.
• Experience the joy and satisfaction of knowing that you are part of preserving JANM for future generations.
• Exclusive invitation to annual Legacy Society events and programs.
• Special recognition in JANM’s publications.
• Discount of 20% at the JANM Store on select merchandise.

Be part of JANM’s future!
