Crescendo Society

Your Legacy. Opera Colorado’s Future.

A planned gift to Opera Colorado is a powerful way to ensure the art you love continues to thrive for generations to come.

From a child experiencing opera for the very first time to our lifelong patrons who return season after season, legacy gifts sustain these moments of meaningful connection.

Members of the Crescendo Society are visionary supporters who believe that opera must remain a vibrant part of Colorado’s cultural life. By including Opera Colorado in your estate plans, you join a community of patrons helping ensure that opera continues to resonate long into the future.

 

With your planned gift, you help:

  • Produce world-class mainstage productions in Denver
  • Train and launch the next generation of artists
  • Inspire thousands of students and families across Colorado
  • Champion new works that advance the art form
  • Sustain opera for generations to come

Your Legacy, Your Way

You can shape your legacy with the Crescendo Society in a variety of meaningful ways.

Include Opera Colorado in your Will or Trust

Give a tax-free gift for any Opera Colorado designation that can be updated at any time.

Name Opera Colorado as a Beneficiary

You can name Opera Colorado as a beneficiary of your retirement account, IRA, insurance policy, or other account.

Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCDs)

For individuals 70 ½ and older, the IRS allows $100,000 per year in directives from their taxable IRA to one or more qualified charities instead of taking a Required Minimum Distribution. To consider whether you qualify for this charitable giving option, consult with your tax or investment advisor.

Gifts of Appreciated Assets

Stocks or other appreciated assets can provide meaningful support while offering potential tax advantages.

Many legacy gifts require no immediate financial commitment, but have a lasting impact on the future of Opera Colorado.
