Planned Giving
Create a Legacy for Carolinas Concert Association

Carolinas Concert Association is dedicated to presenting concerts featuring world-renowned performing artists while sponsoring arts education outreach initiatives for area students which cultivate an understanding and appreciation for the performing arts.

A growing number of patrons and friends are ensuring that Carolinas Concert Association will continue in Charlotte for generations to come by becoming a respected member of the Crown Society and providing for Carolinas Concert Association through their planned giving gifts.

With its rich 79-year history, Carolinas Concert Association is the oldest presenting arts organization in Charlotte.  Carolinas Concert Association prides itself on its fiscal responsibility and the annual operating budget is supported by a mix of earned and contributed income.   In 2008, we were honored as a finalist for the Stanford Financial Excellence Awards. Proceeds from ticket sales represent one-third of CCA’s annual income and cover a small portion of the expenses required to produce these world-class performances.

To ensure the continued success of our Arts Education Outreach programs, we are committed to building our endowment through planned giving.  An endowment that yields predictable returns is important for our long term sustainability and financially responsible artistic planning.

You can create a lasting legacy and play an important role in the future of Carolinas Concert in the following ways:

  • Make world-class classical performances your legacy  

  • Ensure that future generations of Charlotte school children benefit from our Arts Education Outreach initiatives

  • Provide crucial support for CCA and gain recognition for your philanthropic contributions

  • Decrease your income and estate tax burden

  • Pass on your wealth and memories to the next generation of concertgoers and protect current income
