Your legacy donation ensures that future generations have the chance to engage with some of the most important topics and speakers of their generation.
There are a variety of ways to sponsor the John Adams Institute. Consider naming the Institute as a beneficiary (legaat) in your will, or as an inheritor (erfstelling). The decision is yours: we are grateful for your support regardless of the form that it comes in.
Your generosity helps our mission to welcome the best and brightest of American thinking to the Netherlands. It will also ensure that future generations enjoy the John Adams Institute, by supporting initiatives like our Young Minds Network and our high school lecture series, the Quincy Club.
If you feel that the John Adams has a place in your heart, and if you feel that the Institute is a worthy beneficiary of your legacy, then there are some practicalities to consider.
