Planned giving remains the key factor behind the success of The Archive's programs, exhibits, and collections. Help preserve falconry heritage, build our collection, and introduce more dynamic exhibits and programs with a planned gift through your will or other financial tools. Your gift of a bequest will enlist you in our Meredith Heritage Society. As a member of the Society, you and your family will accrue special annual benefits year after year and play a key role in The Archive's future. Review the giving options below and contact our Executive Director to discuss them!
