                - Participation in a life income arrangement for the benefit of the National Gallery of Art (for example, the Gallery’s charitable gift annuity program or a charitable remainder trust)
                - The creation of a charitable lead trust for the benefit of the Gallery
                - The naming of the Gallery as a beneficiary of a retirement plan or a life insurance policy
