Visionary donors may ensure the American Pianists Association mission is sustained far into the future, by remembering APA in their estate plans. These gifts can be substantial or quite modest, and are among the most generous support we receive.
Although most planned gifts are bequests made in wills, there are many ways to include APA in your estate:
- Name APA a beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy or living trust;
- Leave real estate or saleable personal property (e.g., stock, artwork, manuscripts, rare books, superior pianos) to APA through a bequest in your will;
- Establish a charitable gift annuity or trust that provides tax benefits and lifetime income to you, with the remainder going to APA as your legacy gift.
Talk with your attorney and financial advisor for advice on the technical logistics of your gift.
Let’s dream together! Talk with the American Pianists Association’s President/CEO or Director of Development for help crafting your legacy gift. We will bring your vision to life!
Already made provisions for APA in your estate plan? Let us know! We want to honor you now.
