Legacy Donation
Legacy donors have the potential to have the most enduring impact on the Winspear. A bequest in your will helps the Winspear plan confidently for the decades ahead and can generate drastically larger impact than annual or monthly giving. A legacy gift also ensures that your values live on – funding performances, outreach, and education for years to come. A simple sentence in your will can make an extraordinary difference.
All legacy donors receive:
The same perks and recognition as the Orchestra Circle $2,500 tier.
Special recognition in Annual Reports.
Special recognition on Winspear Centre lobby screens during concerts.
