Endowment and Planned Giving – Roger Wagner Society

Planning for the future is vital, not only for individuals but for organizations as well.

The Roger Wagner Society is a group of visionary individuals whose love for choral music and especially the Los Angeles Master Chorale inspired them to make endowment or irrevocable planned gifts to ensure the future of this extraordinary ensemble and the organization that sustains it.

Many people believe that the concept of endowment, particularly planned giving, is for older, more established individuals, but Tricia and I learned that there are benefits for younger couples as well. Current endowment contributions supplement the Chorale’s annual operating needs by providing immediate endowment income and, on a long-term basis, they safeguard the future.” -- Philip A. Swan

The annual High School Choir Festival is such an inspiring day. It brings together singers of various backgrounds and shows that choral music transcends language and cultural differences. We believe in the positive impact music can have on students’ lives, and we want to ensure this program into the future.” — Phyllis Rothrock

There are a number of ways in which you can turn your passion for music into a lasting legacy. Some charitable financial instruments can even provide you with income during your lifetime.
