Growing Great Music Through Endowment

ENDOWMENT

St. Cecilia Music Center’s “Growing Great Music” endowment initiative is dedicated to raising the funds necessary to secure our future for generations to come.

Income from the endowment will ultimately:

  • Provide a revenue stream to support operating expenses
  • Aid in the continued development of world-class musical programming
  • Enable expansion of the School of Music with additional programs and scholarship opportunities
  • Contribute to the day-to-day maintenance of our historic building
  • Fund facility upgrades
  • Support staff development efforts

There are a variety of ways to support our endowment initiative. St. Cecilia Music Center staff will be happy to work with you to design a personal giving plan for you and your family. All gifts will be acknowledged and permanently recognized.

ONE-TIME GIFTS
Contributions to the endowment can be a one-time gift of cash and/or appreciated assets, such as stock or other securities. Corporate or business donors might also consider gifts-in-kind, such as building materials, equipment, furniture or furnishings.

PLEDGES
For your convenience, pledges may be payable over a three-to-five-year period. An accelerated payment plan or large installment would greatly assist in an earlier realization of endowment proceeds.

PLANNED GIVING
Commitments of charitable remainder trusts, gift annuities, life insurance, and bequest provisions may benefit donors while supporting our efforts for years to come.

NAMING OPPORTUNITIES
Naming opportunities are available for individuals, foundations, and companies who contribute at specified levels. These opportunities are available upon request.
