CREATE A LASTING LEGACY THROUGH THE POWER OF MUSIC

Planned gifts play a vital role in sustaining the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival’s mission by creating a legacy that supports artistic excellence, meaningful education for future generations of music lovers, and the Festival’s role as a cultural cornerstone of Santa Fe. Many of our supporters have chosen to include a gift in their will or to make a gift through their IRA, a Donor-Advised Fund, or another beneficiary designation. Whatever path you choose, your generosity will ensure that extraordinary chamber music will be shared in Santa Fe for years to come.

If you’ve included (or are considering including) a gift to the Festival in your estate plan, please share the below information with your administrator. Also, please let us know! Conversations about gift designations, honoring a loved one, and recognition options are encouraged in order to ensure that a donor’s wishes and legacy are understood and fulfilled.

Include the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival in a Will or Trust

Naming the Festival as a beneficiary of a will or trust is a meaningful way to leave a legacy that sustains artistic excellence and inspires future generations of music lovers who participate in our year-round music education programs.

You can make a bequest to the Festival by including language in your will or living trust that states you wish to leave a portion of your estate to the Festival or by designating the Festival as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy.

Sample bequest language for a will, codicil, or revocable living trust includes:

• I give (legal description of property; specific dollar amount; desired percentage; or rest, residue and remainder of my estate) to the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, a New Mexico not-for-profit corporation, located at 208 Griffin Street in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to be used in support of its mission OR to support (program or department) at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival.

If you’ve already included a gift in your will or trust, please contact the Festival’s Director of Development, Joseph Hohlfeld, at 505.983.2075, ext. 108, or jhohlfeld@sfcmf.org to let him know. We’d love to thank you for your generosity.

Life Income Gifts

A charitable gift annuity is a way to make a gift to the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and receive fixed payments for life. This arrangement involves you giving assets to the Festival in exchange for the Festival providing you with a stream of income payments. Upon your passing, the Festival will receive the remaining assets, which will be used to support our mission. There are numerous variations and options available for customization within this arrangement. 

How does a charitable gift annuity work?

• When you transfer cash or securities to create a charitable gift annuity at the Festival, you receive a lifetime stream of fixed payments in return. The remaining value of your gift supports the mission of the Festival.
• The fixed payments can be quite high depending on your age, and a portion of each payment may even be tax-free.
• You receive a charitable income-tax deduction for the gift portion of the annuity.
• You receive the satisfaction of knowing that you’re strengthening the future of the chamber-music art form through your support of the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival.
