Legacy Giving Through Your Will or Trust
Create a lasting musical legacy by including the Amarillo Symphony in your estate plans. Whether through a specific bequest, a percentage of your estate, or a residual gift, your planned gift ensures our mission continues for future generations while potentially providing significant tax benefits for your estate.
Impact: Your legacy gift costs nothing during your lifetime but creates lasting change for generations.
Beneficiary Designations
Designate the Amarillo Symphony as a beneficiary of your retirement accounts, life insurance policies, or other financial accounts. These assets pass directly to the Symphony outside of your will, often providing favorable tax treatment for your estate and survivors.
Simple process: Contact your account administrator to add the Symphony as a beneficiary.
Charitable Remainder Trust
Establish a trust that provides income to you or your loved ones for life or a term of years, with the remainder supporting the Symphony. This sophisticated strategy can provide tax benefits, a steady income stream, and a meaningful charitable legacy.
Triple benefit: Generate lifetime income, receive an immediate tax deduction, and create a lasting charitable legacy.
Eddie Melin Society
Leave a Legacy of Music: In honor of lifelong Amarillo music lover, Eddie Melin, the Legacy Giving Society recognizes those who include the Amarillo Symphony or Chamber Music Amarillo in their estate plans.
Impact: Your planned gift ensures the enduring vitality of music in our community for generations to come.
