Legacy Giving and Bequests
Create a gift that lasts as a Legacy Donor.
Your planned gift means long-term support for the visual arts – a vital part of our society and culture. You can create a future for young artists with a generous contribution through a will, trust, investment and more.
Benefits of Legacy Giving
- Including the MANN Center for the Arts in your estate planning is an important way to ensure the future of the arts in our region.
- Bequests create a long-lasting legacy of support, and there is no cost to you to make this type of contribution.
- You will have the satisfaction of knowing that an arts organization that is important to you will continue to receive support from your estate, and you may be able to lower your capital gains and estate taxes through this method of giving.
Ways to Give
Charitable Bequests: Add a provision to your will that clearly expresses your intention to donate a portion of the estate to the MANN Center for the Arts. Be sure to include our 501(c)(3) ID: 56-1939927 (Lee County Arts and Community Center, Inc.). You may wish to leave a specific dollar amount, a percentage of the estate, or the residuals of an estate after distributions are made to friends and loved ones.
Gifts of Stock, Investments, or Life Insurance: Many firms where you might have a savings, IRA, 401k, or life insurance plan, allow you to designate a beneficiary on your account. Contact your financial firm to discuss adding the Center as a beneficiary.
Please work with your financial advisor on making these important updates to your will, trust, or account. If you have already added the MANN Center for the Arts to your estate plan, or have questions for our Board of Directors, please Contact Us > to let us know about your generous gift.
