PLANNED GIVING
The Atlanta Opera sincerely appreciates your generous support and belief in our mission of bringing the highest quality opera productions and education to our community. By leaving your legacy to The Atlanta Opera, you will receive the satisfaction of supporting an art form you care deeply about, while providing a foundation for the future of opera for generations to come.
Please include The Atlanta Opera in your estate plans and become a member of The Encore Circle.
Membership in the Encore Circle has many benefits:
- Your name featured on the Encore Circle page in each mainstage production program.
- Invitation to special Encore Circle events
- Subscription to "The Libretto" quarterly newsletter
- Exclusive extras throughout the year
Three ways in which to support the Opera:
Current Gift
A donation of cash, securities, real estate, assets, or charitable lead trust you make now. See the beneficial results of your immediate gift and maximize your income tax savings.
Deferred Gift
A deferred gift is a planned contribution that you can arrange now to benefit The Atlanta Opera later- perhaps after your lifetime. Your unique personal circumstances may dictate this strategy, especially if you are contemplating a bequest, life insurance policy, or IRA.
Life Income Gift
These plans are created to provide you with an income for life as well as offer substantial tax savings. You can convert low-yielding assets into a higher income stream. You give assets to the plan now, and The Atlanta Opera receives the balance after the income beneficiary's lifetime.
Creating an estate plan requires advice from your professional advisor. The Atlanta Opera encourages you to consult your advisor to make sure your gift will accomplish your intended goals. We are happy to meet with you to explore the options which are most beneficial to you and discuss how your gift can help preserve the Opera's future.
