Legacy Giving

Join us in shaping the future of music, artist development, and education as part of your lasting legacy.

By planning a future gift to Metropolis, you help ensure that our work will continue as our arts institution grows. A legacy commitment is an investment in transparent, sustainable work that will directly impact the next generations of performers, composers, and artists across New York City and beyond.

Get In touch

If you have any questions for our team, please reach out. We're happy to help. Also, if you’ve already included Metropolis in your will or estate plan, let us know! We’d love to officially welcome you to our community.

A gift in your will

Whether you designate a specific amount or leave a percentage of your estate, your legacy gift will empower the continued work of Metropolis.

Beneficiary designations

Your retirement plans, life insurance policies, and annuities can all help bring our creative projects to life and support local communities via our arts education program for underserved children.

Non-cash assets

Donating certain non-cash assets like real estate can provide significant tax benefits while advancing the mission of Metropolis.

Qualified charitable distributions

If you are 72 or older, you can give up to $100,000 per year from your IRA, allowing you to exclude the amount of your RMD from your income, even if you don’t itemize your taxes each year.
