WHAT WILL YOUR LEGACY BE?

Help ensure the future of music by including Middlebury Community Music Center in your estate plans. By supporting MCMC with a planned gift, such as through a bequest or a charitable trust, you are ensuring MCMC’s leadership and impact in the world of music and for the world through music.

You can help MCMC thrive as a sustainable music enrichment organization by including Middlebury Community Music Center in your estate plans.  There are several different ways to do this:

• Include MCMC in your will

• Name MCMC as a beneficiary of your IRA or Life Insurance Policy

Bequests—whether large or small—ensure that MCMC will thrive long into the future.  You can make certain that the school offers the finest music education for decades to come.  When you make a bequest to MCMC, your love of the school will live on. 

Here’s how:

Include MCMC in Your Estate Plans:

The easiest way to ensure that your love of MCMC can live on is to include MCMC in your will or estate plan. When you make this choice, it doesn’t cost you anything right now.

You can:

a) Name MCMC as a beneficiary of a percentage of your estate

b) Designate an actual amount of money from your estate, or

c) Indicate MCMC as a contingent beneficiary, in case one or more of your specific bequests cannot be fulfilled.

Include MCMC in your IRA or Life Insurance Policy plans:

While most assets are distributed based on the terms of you have in your will, IRAs, Life Insurance policies, and Life Insurance Annuities are distributed based on what you say on beneficiary forms.

You can:

a) Name MCMC as a partial or full beneficiary of an IRA, Life Insurance Policy, or Life Insurance Annuity, or

b) Name MCMC as a secondary beneficiary, should your primary beneficiaries not be available.

To make MCMC a beneficiary, simply ask for a Change of Beneficiary Form from the custodian of your IRA, your retirement account, or the Life Insurance Company. You can decide to give MCMC a pre-determined amount of money or a percentage of the assets. Then sign, date and return the form to the company.

Because MCMC is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, it will receive these donations without any tax being paid.
