Planned Giving

Phase One of the capital fundraising campaign, managed by Compton International, with a target of $1 million, is now complete and enters the next phase of the campaign. Planned Giving becomes an important vehicle by which we can obtain the final $500,000 of our target. How does Planned Giving affect your contribution to this campaign? It is simply a way of making a legacy or bequest which offers advantages to you now. Several of these advantages are:

• Preservation of a source of income for the donor

• Income Tax deductions to give immediate tax relief to the donor

• Reduced Capital Gains Tax on certain assets

• A larger or earlier gift to the Fund

• The opportunity to see the result of a gift during the donor’s lifetime

Gifts to the Music Endowment Fund received through Planned Giving receive the same recognition as all other gifts by entries in The Book of Donors and in The Book of Joy. Planned Giving creates a fitting memorial, not only to the donor, but to others whom the donor wishes to recognize. Planned Giving is another means of participating in this important project. We have excellent advisors available to assist you in creating your Planned Gift.
