The Crowden Legacy Society is a group of individuals with the generosity and foresight to include Crowden in their estate plans.
Whether you are an alum, a teacher, or a friend in the wider community, your legacy gift can have a meaningful and lasting impact. Regardless of the amount, your gift is a statement of your belief that musical training and education makes a lasting difference in young people’s lives. When you demonstrate that you care about Crowden’s future, others will follow your generous example.
Legacy Society members are acknowledged in appropriate printed materials, either by name or anonymously. All gift information is completely confidential. Gifts may be directed toward general funds or a specific program such as financial assistance for Crowden students.

There are other ways to include Crowden in your estate plans, as well. For example, you can name Crowden as the beneficiary of your Individual Retirement Account (IRA), life insurance policy, trust, or bank account. We are happy to discuss options with you. All inquiries are confidential and without obligation.
