Legacy Gifts

Your Lasting Impact on Southern Vitality

Including South Arts in your estate or financial plans empowers you to shape the future of the arts across the South in ways that reflect your passions and priorities. Whether you care most about a particular community, artistic discipline, or type of recipient, we can work alongside you to tailor your legacy to the impact you want your gift to honor.   

Your planned gift helps sustain a vibrant arts ecosystem while also aligning with your specific goals. With thoughtful planning, we can help you direct your support to the programs, regions, or creative voices that matter most to you. In many cases, planned gifts also offer meaningful tax advantages while helping you meet your personal financial objectives. 

Ways to Make a Planned Gift 

There are many flexible ways to support South Arts through planned giving, including:  

  • Bequests in your will or living trust  
  • Beneficiary designations for retirement accounts or life insurance  
  • Charitable remainder trusts  
  • Charitable gift annuities  
  • Gifts of appreciated assets   

Planned Giving form

We strongly suggest you contact your legal and/or tax advisor while discussing your goals and finalizing your plans.    

You can also create your will and make a bequest to South Arts at no cost through a secure tool like FreeWill. You will be asked to enter the details of your legacy gift during the process.
