They celebrate the lives of generous individuals, donors' families or friends, organizations, foundations, and other groups. Endowments forever link the donors' names to the life and mission of the Department of Music. Many people include one or more charitable organizations as beneficiaries of their wills.
Most charitable bequests are outright and absolute.
If the donor wishes it, a charitable bequest can be restricted to a particular fund or ongoing need in the Department of Music. We will be pleased to assist in planning a bequest to benefit the Department of Music that will be practical, personally satisfying, and economically sound. Friends of Music gifts support programs and activities that allow students and faculty to excel. Members of this giving group receive newsletters and special reports detailing the usage of funds. Other benefits may include invitations to events, subscriptions, executive briefings, ticketing assistance, and more, depending upon giving level.
