The Legacy Circle
The Legacy Circle welcomes those who wish to shape the future of Des Moines Metro Opera by making a lasting impact through their estate plans. Members of this special group
By including DMMO in your plans—by making provisions in your estate plans, naming the Company as a beneficiary in a life insurance policy, or establishing a charitable gift IRA—you join a community of visionaries whose goal is to ensure the company’s dedication to artistic excellence and financial stability continues for years to come.
When you inform us of your planned gift, we’ll include you in this extraordinary circle of friends. You’re welcome to remain anonymous if you prefer. If you’ve already arranged a planned gift but haven’t shared it with us, we’d love to hear from you so we can celebrate your generosity and officially welcome you into the Legacy Circle.
Qualifying Gifts Include:
- Making a bequest to Des Moines Metro Opera's Foundation (EIN 42-1376458) in a will or trust
- Naming the Des Moines Metro Opera Foundation as the beneficiary of an IRA or other retirement plan.
- Naming the Des Moines Metro Opera Foundation as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy
- Investing in a Charitable Gift Annuity to benefit Des Moines Metro Opera and generate tax-free income for you during your lifetime
