Making a Planned Gift

Want to make sure the music continues?  We are planning on St. Petersburg Opera making great music for many years to come.  We would be very happy to have you include us in your long-range planning for charitable giving.   There are a number of ways to plan your gift to SPO.  Many of these could provide you or your estate with significant tax benefits and help meet other financial planning needs, while providing a very generous ultimate gift to SPO.  Any planned gift entitles you to join the Star Circle, a very special group of friends who have included St. Petersburg Opera in their estate plans.

Among the ways you can plan to give to St. Petersburg Opera:

• Will bequests
• Life income gifts — gifts from which you (or another) can receive lifetime income
• Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and other retirement savings plan gifts
• Charitable lead trusts
• Gifts of appreciated property
• Real estate gifts
• Life insurance gifts

We encourage you to consult with your tax and estate planning professionals before designating a gift to SPO, and we will be happy to provide whatever information you need.  St. Petersburg Opera is a 501C3 organization and is registered with the State of Florida as a charitable organization.   
 
In the future, we plan to establish an endowment fund and to provide naming opportunities for you to receive enduring recognition for your generosity.   If you would like to explore these ideas with us, please contact Mark Sforzini at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
