James Lick Legacy Society

Consider A Planned Gift

In 1876, James Lick bequeathed $10,000 to the Mechanics' Institute, helping establish a tradition of philanthropy that continues today. The James Lick Legacy Society honors the generous individuals who include the Institute in their estate plans, ensuring we remain a vibrant hub for years to come. You can make a bequest through your will, trust, retirement account, or a Life Insurance designation. Every gift helps preserve the Institute for future generations.
