Leave A Legacy

violin player Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of gift planning. By naming The Ellington Fund as a beneficiary of your will, life insurance policy or retirement plan, you can help ensure that aspiring artists throughout the District of Columbia will continue to receive a top-notch education years from now.

Not only will your generosity guarantee critical support for Ellington in years to come, but your gift can also provide significant tax benefits to you right now. The Ellington Fund is currently engaged in a campaign to encourage you, our donors and friends, to consider leaving your legacy by including The Ellington Fund in your estate planning. Our hope is to serve you and your family with useful information to help you make an informed decision.

Would you like to make a lasting difference in the lives of talented young artists across the city, but aren't sure what you can afford to give right now? There are many ways you can help.

One easy way to help is to name The Ellinigton Fund as a beneficiary in your will. After taking care of family and friends, your gift to The Ellington Fund can include a dollar amount, specific property or a percentage of your assets.

To make an appointment to further discuss your long-term giving plans, please email Ellen Coppley or call 202.333.2555 ext. 103. Learn more about other options that are best for your situation, including tax-free sales, gift annuities, unitrusts and more.
