Designing your legacy now with a planned gift can be a rewarding and significant philanthropic investment in the organizations you treasure. Planned gifts to the Aspen Music Festival and School are typically directed to the AMFS endowment and will sustain the organization’s vision to offer transformational and inspirational experiences for students, artist-faculty, and audience members alike.

Planned gifts represent options that can be designed to meet your personal philanthropic and financial goals. Some planned gifts, such as a gift in your will, require no current outlay of funds at all. And other planned gifts, including the charitable gift annuity, make it possible to support our work, enjoy a tax deduction if you itemize, and receive a lifetime income at the same time. Please contact us if we can provide more information or begin a conversation about your philanthropic goals and interest in the Aspen Music Festival and School.

P.S.—We invite attorneys, CPAs, financial planners, and other professional advisors to use our Advisor Reference Tool. It provides more detailed information about planned giving concepts and techniques.

Contact us if you are interested in making a Planned Gift—call Lenor Leeds at 970-205-5062 or email lleeds@aspenmusic.org.
