Foundation Society

The Foundation Society is a group for members who have identified the Swope as part of their estate planning. No additional membership fees apply, but members enjoy special recognition within the group and an annual special event. It isn't necessary to inform the Museum of your specific plans, but if you require assistance or advice, it is available.
