Medici Legacy

 

 

“You can’t be a customer forever”… ensure your support will continue beyond your lifetime and consider leaving a legacy.

Through their vision, influence and support of the humanities, the Medici family played a major role in the renaissance - but it is their influence and legacy that is still felt today. If one family can influence culture over 500 years of lineage, so can a new generation long into the future.

Making a bequest to JamFactory is a visionary way to influence and support a new renaissance of skill, innovation and creative entrepreneurship beyond your lifetime.
