“Endowment gifts epitomize the concept of stewardship. They are legacy gifts because they ensure Music Center will be here for Generations to come.”
Endowment
-
Music Center has brought the transformative power of music to the lives of people and our community for more than 30 years. We operate from a financial plan that incorporates endowed funds to ensure a healthy, sustainable future. These funds are invested, and a portion of their value can be paid out each year, thereby providing a reliable stream of income over the long-term.
By endowing your gift, you can make an impact that will be felt year after year, generation after generation.
-
Endowments are like an untouchable savings account and provide a permanent and stable source of income every year. Assests from Endowments are invested with a portion of the fund’s value paid to support its intended purpose (restricted or unrestricted). Many donors choose to name the fund after themselves or a distinguished honoree.
An endowment fund ensures regular funding levels for programs and operations at Music Center. By specifying a project or passion, you can give Music Center the flexibility to explore new programs and disciplines. Your gift is an opportunity to create a lasting legacy and support Music Center in perpetuity.
-
Music Center’s endowment funds are professionally managed and operated by authority from the Board of Trustees and Finance Committee. Music Center receives investment advisory services from premier financial consultants in order to pursue a smart, conservative strategy emphasizing consistent returns. It is Music Center’s goal to ensure that our endowments will remain a dependable and secure generator for scientific innovation while providing a lasting tribute to the generosity and vision of the donors who establish them.
-
This fund provides support for students who would not otherwise be able to participate in programs at Music Center.
