Planned Giving
Your legacy endows The Henry Ford’s mission to help shape a better future.
What is Planned Giving?
Planned Giving is a deeply meaningful and impactful way to express your commitment to The Henry Ford and our mission. A planned gift is more than a donation — it's a statement of devotion and trust in The Henry Ford's continued role in shaping the future of innovation and education.
Planned Giving encompasses several types of deferred charitable contributions that will provide lasting support to The Henry Ford for years to come. These gifts — including bequests, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, life insurance, real estate and others — help sustain our mission for future generations.

Clara Bryant Ford Society
The Clara Bryant Ford Society was established to recognize and thank those who have included The Henry Ford in their estate plans.
Being recognized as a member of the Clara Bryant Ford Society can serve as a powerful inspiration to others who may be considering a similar legacy gift. While The Henry Ford fully respects and honors those who prefer to remain anonymous, sharing one's intentions, even confidentially, allows the institution to plan thoughtfully for the future and express its deepest gratitude in meaningful ways.
We are pleased to offer a variety of special opportunities to our Clara Bryant Ford Society members, including recognition and invitations to exclusive events.
Join the Clara Bryant Ford Society by notifying The Henry Ford of your legacy gift intention. For more information about the Clara Bryant Ford Society and planned giving, contact us or call 313.982.6115.
