How We Can Help

Donors
Your estate plan is a statement about what matters most in your life. With a planned gift you can create a lasting legacy that expresses your values, honors a loved one and supports those organizations that are most important to you and your family.

The Cultural Trust works with donors to discuss and evaluate the various planned giving vehicles—and ensures that your gift is wisely invested and your wishes are honored in perpetuity.

If you are interested in making a planned gift to one or more cultural organizations, The Cultural Trust offers free consultation with a staff attorney to answer/address your questions regarding specific planned giving vehicles and how to structure a gift to achieve your personal and financial objectives.
