Planned Giving

For seven decades, friends who recognize how much Marlboro means to music, advanced training, and the world at large have helped to ensure its future by including this idealistic community in their wills. Bequests and gift annuities ensure that, for years to come, the dream of attending Marlboro will come true for young players who are devoting their lives to their art. A bequest of $75,000 can create an Endowment Fellowship Fund in your name, or in honor or in memory of someone.

With our purchase of the campus, bequests are especially important in preserving the natural beauty and iconic farm buildings on this unique 560-acre property, and in extending Marlboro’s ideals throughout the year. Your legacy gift can include naming rights for a community building; it can be designated to help protect the landscape; or it can be used to enable performing, visual, and creative artists to pursue their work with abundant time and without distractions. It will help us keep alive a rich legacy of community, collaboration, devotion to art, and a striving for the highest standards.

You can also take advantage of gift annuities, which provide you and your spouse with annual income for life, tax advantages, and lasting recognition. By using current assets to make gifts, you can reduce certain types of taxes, provide for your retirement, and simplify your affairs. Our planned giving consultants will be pleased to speak with you—in confidence and with no obligation on your part.
