The Legacy Circle

Your Legacy. Our Future.

The music we make today can inspire generations to come.

For nearly four decades, the Indianapolis Men’s Chorus has brought people together through music, created spaces where everyone belongs, and helped build a more inclusive community.

The Legacy Circle recognizes individuals who have made the extraordinary decision to include the Indianapolis Men’s Chorus in their estate plans.

Through these thoughtful commitments, members of the Legacy Circle help ensure that future generations will experience the same joy, connection, and sense of belonging that IMC provides today.

Your legacy can help keep the music going.

What Is a Legacy Gift?

A legacy gift is a commitment to support the Indianapolis Men’s Chorus through your estate or other long-term financial plans.

These gifts can take many forms, including:

  • A gift through your will or living trust: Designate a specific amount, percentage, or portion of your estate to IMC.

  • Retirement account beneficiary designation: Name IMC as a beneficiary of an IRA, 401(k), or other retirement account.

  • Life insurance: Designate IMC as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy.

  • Charitable trusts and other planned gifts: Work with your financial or estate advisor to explore arrangements that meet your personal and philanthropic goals.

Many legacy gifts require no contribution during your lifetime, and you can generally update your plans as your circumstances change.

You don’t have to be wealthy to leave a meaningful legacy. Gifts of all sizes can make a lasting difference.

Your Gift. Their Future.

Legacy gifts help provide the long-term financial strength that allows IMC to continue fulfilling its mission:

The Indianapolis Men’s Chorus entertains, educates, and promotes inclusive community through musical excellence.

Your generosity can help:

  • Sustain exceptional musical performances and artistic programming.

  • Support the professional artistic and administrative leadership that makes our work possible.

  • Keep participation accessible to singers, regardless of financial circumstances.

  • Create opportunities for education, outreach, and community partnerships.

  • Ensure IMC remains a welcoming and inclusive community for generations to come.

Some donors choose to support IMC’s general mission, while others wish to establish permanent funds supporting specific aspects of our work.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss your interests and help you create a legacy that reflects what matters most to you.

Recognition Through the Legacy Circle

We believe that a commitment to IMC’s future deserves to be celebrated.

With your permission, we would be honored to recognize your generosity in IMC publications and other donor recognition opportunities.

We also respect that some individuals prefer to give privately. Anonymous participation is always welcome.

There is no minimum gift amount required to become a member of the Legacy Circle.
