Legacy Society

Bob and Jamie Craft, Founding Patrons 

By naming Washington National Opera a beneficiary of your Will,
living or charitable trust, life insurance policy, retirement plan, or by
making a gift of real estate or tangible property, you can perpetuate the Opera's dynamic performances and build the bridge from this generation of opera lovers to the next.

Patrons who provide for the Opera through bequests, life insurance, retirement plans and real estate are eligible for the Legacy Society, as well as those making gifts today that offer them income for life, through a charitable gift annuity and charitable trust or provide income now to the Opera and benefit their loved ones through a charitable lead trust.

As part of the Opera family, Legacy Society members are invited to special events and engage in the life of the Opera behind the scenes, as well as on the main stage. Members also participate in our annual Legacy Society Day. 

More information on how to arrange planned gifts and their benefits to you and to Washington National Opera is available online, or please contact Vesna Gjaja at 202.295.2444 or vgjaja@dc-opera.org.
