Why give to our endowment?
In 2021 Tempesta received a $100,000 gift to establish an endowment fund with the purpose to sustain the mission and work of the ensemble in perpetuity. The fund’s principal is kept intact, with a portion of the annual growth used to fund ongoing operations.
You can make a significant contribution to furthering our mission, and it’s easier than you might think.
Here are a number of charitable gift and estate planning strategies that can benefit you and build our endowment:
