Putnam Museum and IMAX Theatre
Plan your visit!IMAX Theatre!Exhibit Halls!Education!Get Involved!

For over 140 years, people of great foresight have contributed to the Putnam.
With their help, we've become the Quad Cities' largest and most visited cultural institution, providing unique educational experiences to over 45,000 school children and 179,000 visitors each year!

Now, we invite you to join a community that transcends time by making a planned gift that will help ensure the vitality of this cultural icon for generations to come. Your giving can take many forms, including:

1) Making a bequest to the Putnam, be it for a fixed amount, particular assets, the remainder of your estate or by naming us as a contingent beneficiary;
2) Naming the Museum as the owner or primary/secondary beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy;
3) Creating a Charitable Lead Trust or Charitable Remainder Trust to benefit the Museum;
4) Establishing a Charitable Gift Annuity with the Museum; or
5) Making the Museum a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), Keogh, SEP or other qualified retirement plan.

Using these gift vehicles, you can maximize your legacy while often receiving tax benefits and, in some cases, income for life. We'd be happy to work with you and your estate planner to develop an option that best meets your goals. To learn more or to let us know that you've already included us in your plans, please contact our Director of Development, Betsy Matt Turner, at (563) 324-1054 x216.

You can make a significant difference to the Putnam Museum and IMAX Theatre!
