Planned Giving

Our planned giving program, The Masterpiece Society, is a special group of donors who dream of making a difference beyond their lifetime. Consider joining this visionary group by including GCCA in your bequest or other estate plans. Your gift will make a lasting impact, creating life-changing arts experiences for many generations to come.

Your planned gift will likely be larger than any gift you could make during your lifetime. The Masterpiece Society allows us to recognize your generosity now, for the incredible gift you will make later. You will keep control over your bequest assets should you need them during your lifetime, and you may modify your gift at any time, should your circumstances or desires change.

Ways to Give

  • Gifts of Stock and Bonds

  • Retirement Assets (IRA, 401k, 403b, pension, or other tax deferred plan)

  • Cash

  • Life Insurance Policies

  • IRA Charitable Rollover

How You Can Define Your Bequest

  • A gift of a particular amount of money (e.g., $250,000).

  • A gift of a specific item or items (e.g., 1,000 shares of ABC Corporation).

  • A gift that will be made from the remainder of your estate once all other bequests, debts, and taxes have been paid (e.g., you give 25% of the rest, residue, and remainder of your estate). Often called a “residuary bequest,” this approach assures that your family will be taken care of before your estate makes a bequest to GCCA.
