What legacy will you leave?

The members of our Leta Snow Legacy Society have remembered the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra in their will, trust, or other estate instrument because they care deeply about keeping the music alive in our community for generations to come.

Here are some examples of what KSO donors are doing now to support the Symphony in the future:

• naming the Symphony in their will (bequest) to receive a percentage or fixed amount of their remaining estate.

• naming the Symphony as owner or beneficiary of their retirement instrument or life insurance policy (existing or new policies).

• Setting up a Charitable Remainder Trust so that they and their beneficiaries can receive life income payments while making a future provision for the Symphony.

Unitrusts – variable income

Annuity Trusts – fixed income

• Starting a Charitable Gift Annuity which is owned by the KSO but pays a fixed income to the donor for life.

• Participating in a Pooled Income Trust whereby the assets of several donors are combined into a single fund.

Because there are many ways to make a legacy gift, we urge you to consult with your financial advisor to determine which way is right for you. Please call our Development Office to find out more about leaving a legacy gift to the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra, or
