Support the Emerson

Planned Giving

Consider building a legacy of the arts in our community in the form of a bequest. The Emerson is deeply grateful to those friends who secure the promises of creativity, community, cultural appreciation, and art education through their will or living trust.

Bequests to the Emerson are generally exempt from federal or state inheritance taxes and are subject to an unlimited deduction. Hence, you may find that a commitment through your will – combined with an outright pledge or a life income gift– yields a much larger donation than you expected. Please consult your tax advisor, and do not hesitate to contact us for assistance. Let us help you establish a legacy that will reflect your appreciation of the community, art, and culture for generations to come.

To discuss planned giving opportunities, please contact our Executive Director via email or call (406) 587-9797.
