Discuss your legacyWhat will your legacy make possible?
The stories we keep. The futures we inspire.
Perhaps the Keys are where your family made its favorite memories, where you found a community, or where you first felt truly at home. A gift through your estate can help carry that connection forward.
It can help a child discover a passion, a family understand the people who shaped these islands, and a community hold on to stories that might otherwise be lost. Your legacy can help keep the Florida Keys History & Discovery Center a place of discovery for generations to come.
Who qualifies?
$100,000 or more
Membership in the Foundation Legacy Society is exclusively for members who give through their will or estate. A gift of exactly $100,000 qualifies.
This is separate from annual giving levels, Heritage Shares, and regular museum membership. Please contact our development team to discuss your gift and Society membership.
