Leave a Legacy
By including the Rossland Historical Museum & Archives Association (DBA Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre) in your will, you help ensure that the rich history, stories, and spirit of our community are preserved for generations to come.
A legacy gift is a meaningful way to make a lasting impact — while maximizing tax benefits for your estate and your loved ones. Your support helps us protect and share Rossland’s unique heritage — from our mining roots to our mountain culture — through exhibitions, archives, educational programs, and community initiatives.
How to Leave a Legacy Gift
Leaving a bequest to the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre is simple. Here are a few ways you can include us in your estate plans:
Residual Gift: You can name us to receive a percentage or the remainder of your estate after other specific gifts and expenses have been paid.
Specific Gift: You can leave a specific amount of money.
Contingent Gift: You can make a gift that takes effect only if your other beneficiaries are no longer living.
Sample Wording for Your Will
Your legal advisor can help you include the appropriate wording. Here’s an example you can share with them:
"I give to the Rossland Historical Museum & Archives Association, currently operating as the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre (Charitable Registration Number: 107915654RR0001), the sum of $_______ [or __% of the residue of my estate] for its general purposes."
