Leave a Lasting Legacy: Planned Giving
Music has the unique power to transcend generations. By choosing to make a Planned Gift (also known as a legacy gift), you ensure that the Moorestown Community Band will continue to bring people together through the universal language of music for decades to come.
Planned giving allows you to integrate your charitable giving goals with your overall financial, tax, and estate planning. While regular donations fund our daily operating expenses today, legacy gifts secure our long-term sustainability, safeguarding the future of the arts in our community.

Common Ways to Create Your Legacy
You do not need to be wealthy to make a lasting impact. Legacy giving is flexible and can be structured to fit your unique financial situation:
- Bequests in a Will or Trust: You can designate a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate to the Moorestown Community Band.
- Beneficiary Designations: Name the band as a beneficiary of your retirement account (like an IRA or 401k), life insurance policy, or bank account. This is often as simple as filling out a form with your plan administrator.
- Gifts of Stock or Securities: Donating appreciated assets can provide significant tax advantages for you while directly supporting our musical mission.
Why Plan a Gift?
- Tax Efficiency: Many planned giving options offer substantial estate, income, or capital gains tax savings.
- Peace of Mind: You can structure your gift to ensure your loved ones are taken care of first.
- A Lasting Impact: Your passion for music becomes a permanent part of Moorestown's cultural history, supporting future generations of local musicians and audiences.
