PLANNED GIVING

Dear Sitka Music Festival Supporter, 

An important way to ensure the future of the Sitka Music Festival is through “planned giving” to the Sitka Music Festival Foundation. This is an important type of charitable donation in which you choose to contribute, often a significant gift, to a nonprofit organization like the Sitka Music Festival Foundation, as part of your estate plan. This type of planned giving is often included in your will or trust plan.

Consider your personal IRA, bank accounts, investment accounts, or other financial accounts you now own. Your IRA administrator and investment account holder can assist you to determine if you can designate the Sitka Music Festival Foundation now as the beneficiary of the funds.

Estate tax benefits are best explained to you by the person who assists when you write your will or trust plan. This may be your attorney. Always inquire about the tax implications and benefits when you designate the Foundation at this time. They may be of significant benefit for you, your family, and the Foundation.

Life insurance policy beneficiary designation is another method of supporting the Foundation and can be arranged with your life insurance company at this time.  No need to wait!

These are simply examples of pledging now to support the Sitka Music Festival Foundation in the future. Your pledge at this time to support the Foundation is critical for the future of the Sitka Music Festival. Please help us to achieve our goals.
