Estate and Planned Gifts

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 to participation, 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. Members of the Emma Endres-Kountz Society are listed with special recognition in Merit's Annual Report. This site will illustrate ways you can create a lasting impact on Merit through a planned gift. For more information, we suggest you consult with your attorney and/or advisor.
