Ima Hogg Society

Ima Hogg bequeathed her historic home, collection of American decorative arts, and expansive gardens to the MFAH in 1957. This remarkable gift, now regarded as one of the finest house museums in the world, is the inspiration for the Ima Hogg Society. The Ima Hogg Society honors those who have plans to remember Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens in their will. Through a simple designation in a will or trust, your legacy will live on at Bayou Bend. Members of this society receive recognition in selected publications and invitations to exclusive events, including the complimentary annual luncheon.

The MFAH recognizes and celebrates those who remember Bayou Bend in their estate plans. All are welcome and qualify for membership in the Society by naming Bayou Bend in a living will or trust; designating life insurance policy proceeds to the museum, or by donating an insurance policy; transferring real estate to the MFAH through life estate; or making a gift of a work or works of art that the museum has agreed to accept.

There are no dues or fees to participate in the Ima Hogg Society, nor requirements for details on future gifts. To enroll, simply complete this card or contact Valerie Greiner (713.353.1587) for more information.
