The legacy and future of Merit School of Music's programs rely on the generosity and continued support of our donors. To fulfill Merit's mission to remove economic barriers, help young people achieve their full musical potential, and to stimulate personal and educational growth through music, we must strive to achieve lasting resources and build our endowment for future students.

One way that Merit works to achieve these goals is through the Planned Giving Program. Donors who make provisions for Merit's future through planned gifts are invited to join Merit School of Music's Emma Endres-Kountz Society. In addition to special recognition in Merit's annual report, Emma Endres-Kountz Society members are invited to a private reception in their honor. For more information we suggest you consult with your attorney and/or advisor. This website will illustrate ways you can create a lasting impact on Merit through a planned gift.
