Zeva Smith was a devoted volunteer and
friend of the Museum for over 25 years. She lived a rich life that
included a career in teaching disabled children, a two-year stint
with the Peace Corps in Costa Rica when she was in her 60s, and, upon
returning to San Francisco, a commitment as an SFMOMA Library volunteer.
After her death at the age of 90, her trust left an important gift
to the Museum Library. These funds were used to purchase significant
catalogues raisonnes, a lasting resource for the scholars and art
lovers who use the Library.
One of the Museum's greatest friends was Walter
Haas, Jr. Renowned as a philanthropist and business leader,
Mr. Haas enriched the community through his generosity. He and his
wife Evelyn continued his family's long tradition of dedication to
the Museum. Mrs. Haas is a former chair and current lifetime member
of the Board of Trustees, and is a tireless volunteer for a multitude
of Museum activities.
Through his will, Mr. Haas provided a special endowment fund to the
Museum in honor of Evelyn's extraordinary commitment to SFMOMA. His
gift will support the general program needs of the Museum.
In Honor of Your Gift
The Grace McCann Morley Legacy Society has been established to honor
donors who have provided for SFMOMA in their estate plans. It is named

transformed the Museum into a leading center of the visual arts.
The Museum is pleased to offer members special benefits. For additional
