Click to play video which describes a gift from retirement plan

You've worked hard and planned for retirement. Now, with a little creativity, you can leverage your retirement assets to benefit you and your family, reduce federal taxes, and support WHHA far into the future.

How It Works

  • Name or designate The White House Historical Association as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified retirement plan.
  • Pass the balance of your retirement assets to WHHA by contacting your plan administrator.
  • Important! Tell WHHA about your gift. Your plan administrator is not obligated to notify us, so if you don't tell us, we may not know.
