Support Us

The Webb Deane Stevens Museum, a 501(C)3 tax exempt organization, is grateful for the generosity of its supporters. Opportunities for giving span from Annual Fund support for general operating needs to Membership; from Special Projects to Planned Gifts. Gifts of cash, securities, and in-kind gifts are welcome. Your gift touches every aspect of the Museum – education, exhibitions, community programming, and historic preservation – and enables us to further our mission and serve our community.

Make the Webb Deane Stevens Museum Part of Your Legacy

Please consider including the Webb Deane Stevens Museum in your estate planning and join a special group of donors who strive to secure the future of the Museum for generations to come. The Elizabeth Colt Society, named after the NSCDA-CT’s 1893 founder, recognizes and honors those who included the Connecticut Society and its historic houses in their estate plans. Your planned gift can support any facet of the Museum – expansion and care of its nationally-significant collections, curatorial research and exhibitions, statewide educational initiatives, capital improvements to the building, and operational funding that ensures the Museum’s collections are protected, the lights stay on, and the doors remain open.  

The Museum strongly encourages you to consult with your financial advisor and/or legal counsel for more information before making a planned gift. 

Your gift of appreciated securities enables you to make a significant contribution to the Museum while avoiding capital gains taxes on the donated shares!
