Planned Giving

Help build the future of the Tennessee Aquarium by making a planned gift. Your planned gift will not only support the Aquarium in its conservation, education and research efforts, but this type of gift can offer significant tax advantages:

  • Reduce potential estate taxes
  • Provide an income stream
  • Provide a current income tax deduction
  • Reduce or avoid capital gains taxes
Members of the Legacy Society receive the following benefits:

  • Recognition in a special section of our Annual Report and our Riverwatch magazine.
  • Invitations to attend our Legacy Society events as well as other exclusive aquarium events.
  • The satisfaction of knowing your gift will permanently help protect the natural world right here in the Tennessee Valley for future generations.
There are many ways to make a planned gift to your Tennessee Aquarium. Examples include:

  • Bequests in your Will or Living Trust
  • Gifts of Appreciated Property – such as stock or real estate
  • Charitable Gift Annuities
  • Gifts of Life Insurance
  • Gifts from Retirement Plan Assets
