Planned Giving
At her death in 1942, Gertrude Vanderbilt
Whitney left a substantial bequest to ensure that the Museum she
had founded would live on to inspire future generations. In 1968,
Josephine Nivison Hopper, the widow of Edward Hopper, enriched the
Whitney's permanent collection immeasurably when she bequeathed Hopper's entire artistic estate
to the Museum. Since that time, many more individuals have strengthened
the Whitney legacy through their own bequests, large and small.
