FOUR EASY WAYS TO MAKE YOUR LEGACY GIFT
Your Life Insurance
Life insurance that no longer serves its original purpose, such as college funding or spousal support, may be used instead to ensure that opera is enjoyed by and accessible to future audiences.
Your Retirement Plan
You can ensure that the magic of opera continues by making NCO a beneficiary in your retirement plan.
Your Will
You can help NC Opera expand its productions and education programs for years to come, simply by making a gift of any amount in your will. NOTE: If you have already made provision for NCO in your estate planning, please let us know by emailing cary.byrd@ncopera.org or by completing this form.
Your Charitable Gift Annuity
When you create a charitable gift annuity benefiting NCO, you will ensure that the curtain continues to rise upon high-quality productions like Don Giovanni and The Magic Flute.
