Legacy Giving (Planned Giving)

The simplest way to support YOSA through a legacy gift is to include YOSA in your will. The following are examples of how to indicate a general or undesignated gift to YOSA through your will:

Sample Bequest of Remainder of Estate:
“I give, devise, and bequeath to Youth Orchestras of San Antonio, TAX I.D. #74-1926713, all [or state the fraction or percentage] of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal. Youth Orchestras of San Antonio may be contacted at 106 Auditorium Circle, Ste. 130, San Antonio, TX 78205, (210) 737-0097.”

Sample Bequest of Specific Amount:
“I give, devise, and bequeath $_____ to Youth Orchestras of San Antonio, TAX I.D. #74-1926713. Youth Orchestras of San Antonio may be contacted at 106 Auditorium Circle, Ste. 130, San Antonio, TX 78205, (210) 737-0097.”

You should always consult with your attorney before modifying your will. For advice about either planned gifts that benefit YOSA while providing you income (e.g. charitable remainder annuity trusts) or about additional types of estate gifts, please consult with a financial or estate planning professional. If you have questions or would like to discuss planned giving with a YOSA staff member, please contact our Development Director, at (210) 737-0097 x112 or development@yosa.org.
