Include Greensboro Opera in Your Estate Plans

Planned gifts play a vital role in securing the future financial strength of Greensboro
Opera. A planned gift commitment can be as simple as including Greensboro Opera in
your will, living trust, or making Greensboro Opera the beneficiary of your retirement
plan asset, such as an IRA or 401(K). A gift of life insurance is an effective way to make a
lasting commitment to Greensboro Opera.
A Gift producing income for your or a loved one’s lifetime(s), such as a charitable gift
annuity or charitable remainder trust is a wonderful way to ensure that Greensboro Opera
can continue to fulfill its compelling artistic and educational service mission. You may
also want to honor or memorialize loved ones with your gift.
For additional information about making a gift, please contact Andrea Allen, Office
Manager at 336.273.9472 or email officemanager@greensboroopera.org
