Your charitable bequest is the most important type of gift for building San Francisco Performances’ future. When received, your bequest will be recorded as a gift to our endowment where it will strengthen the organization for future generations.

There are three types of bequests for you to consider. A specific bequest of an asset such as a retirement plan, results in no income taxes paid on the plan by your estate.

Residual bequests are often made after making specific bequests to relatives, friends and charities. Whatever remains after specific bequests (the residuary) can be given in percentage to charity and others.

When you place a specific or residual/percentage bequest in your will or living trust and notify SF Performances, we will invite you to become a member of the Cadenza Legacy Society. If you are considering a restriction we encourage dialogue now to ensure that your wishes are met.
