Estate & Planned Gifts
The Marjorie Topaz Society recognizes individuals who have included the Music Institute of Chicago in their estate plans. Bequests of all sizes help the Music Institute ensure the future of its high-level educational programming and outreach. Through a planned gift, donors benefit their longtime financial planning while providing critical funds that underwrite scholarships, program and/or Faculty Chair endowments, and community outreach. The Music Institute would be honored to work with you on establishing your planned gift’s designation.
Airline Miles
The Music Institute can use airline miles to assist students' travel to national and international competitions, summer camp activities and auditions. Priority is given to those students who are most in-need of financial assistance.
Donate an Instrument
We have many students who cannot afford to buy or rent instruments. We are especially interested in small violins and trumpets in working order for our outreach programming in the inner city.
