Legacy Society

Legacy Society

The Japanese American National Museum Legacy Society is a group of people who have arranged a future gift to JANM in their estate plans. They share a common bond of commitment to the future of JANM and acknowledge the importance of the Museum in preserving the rich heritage and cultural identity of Japanese Americans to promote understanding and appreciation of America’s ethnic and cultural diversity by sharing the Japanese American experience for future generations. As often as possible, they get together to share stories and learn more about JANM’s exhibitions and programs. We look forward to welcoming you to the Legacy Society and thanking you today for your future gift.
