Your Musical Legacy

A legacy gift, or planned gift, is a gift you make today that benefits a charity in the future (generally after your lifetime).

Like great symphonies, legacy gifts come in all shapes and sizes. And they don’t need to be complicated.You can direct your legacy gift to the area of the Symphony’s work that matters most to you. To explore options for designating your planned gift, please call us at 785.232.2032. We’re happy to help you create a lasting impact through music.

You or your heirs may also receive various financial advantages such as significant tax benefits. Planned gifts can be an advantageous way to provide support for the Topeka Symphony in the future and have a meaningful impact on future generations.
