Begin your Legacy

Sustain the arts in our community for future generations.

Plan your will or bequest with us

To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use Giving Docs, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating a legally valid will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.

Overture. Forever.

With less than $1 million left to reach our $30 million goal, National Guardian Life and SupraNet Communications, Inc. have presented a $200,000 match challenge through December 31. Planned gifts, including bequests and estate gifts, count toward the campaign, making them a powerful way to leave a lasting legacy. Now is your moment to step into the spotlight and double the power of your gift!
