Named in honor of our historic synagogue, the 1876 Society recognizes those who have designated the Museum as a beneficiary of an estate gift.
You can ensure that the story of our community is shared from generation to generation.
Your planned gift is a legacy – a way for you to invest in the Museum’s mission to connect families and diverse communities, reflect on the relevance of our history to our future, and encourage visitors to explore their role in making change.
Bequests may take many forms – a specific dollar amount, a portion of one’s remaining assets after all obligations are met, specific assets, remaining retirement account assets, or benefits from an individual retirement account or life insurance policy.
For more information regarding planned giving, please contact our Development Department, at support@capitaljewishmuseum.org or 202-290-2593. To complete a Statement of Intent, please click here.
Al Munzer & Joel Wind
Washington deserves a first-rate Jewish museum that places the story of our people in the context of the ups and downs of American history.

It is important to us that long after we are gone, the Museum can still prompt visitors to connect, reflect, and act.
