Support the arts in Monterey County for future generations
If the arts have touched your life in our community, you might be the perfect candidate for a legacy gift!
What is a “legacy gift?” Simply put, a legacy gift is a formally promised donation to be made at a later date. These gifts are often made through wills or trusts and contributed after someone passes away.
Legacy gifts are for everyone! From teachers to lawyers, artists to administrative professionals, anyone can give a legacy gift. It is as simple as updating your estate plan to include the Arts Council for Monterey County.
Why legacy giving? Many people who want to make a meaningful gift to the Arts Council may not be in a financial position to make one. A legacy gift helps anyone who wants to contribute to the arts in our community without affecting their current income or financial situation. It also offers tax benefits as well!
What kinds of gifts are legacy gifts? Legacy gifts can of course be cash and securities but can also include life insurance policies and property. If you are curious about details or what kinds of property we accept, please reach out!
How do I make a legacy gift? It’s as easy as updating your will or trust — or working with an estate lawyer to set one up. Give yourself the peace of mind knowing that your wishes will be fulfilled and that the arts will continue to flourish in our community.
