Why Planned Giving Matters

When you include The Center for the Arts in your will, trust, or estate plans, you:

• Ensure a lasting legacy that enriches our community through the arts.

• Support future generations of artists, audiences, and students.

• Maximize benefits for your heirs by potentially reducing estate taxes.

• Make a meaningful gift that may cost nothing during your lifetime.

Simple Ways to Give

Bequests are the most common and simplest way to leave a future gift. You can:

• Specific Bequest – Leave a set dollar amount or particular asset.

• Percentage Bequest – Designate a percentage of your estate.

• Residual Bequest – Gift what remains after other distributions.

Other planned giving options include gifts of life insurance or charitable trusts.

How to Get Started

Leaving a bequest is as easy as adding one sentence to your will or living trust.

Sample Language
