For nearly 50 years, Sacred & Profane Chamber Chorus has built a community around the wonder of choral music in the Bay Area. Our mission depends on the passionate support of patrons like you. A planned gift is a powerful way to ensure that Sacred & Profane Chamber Chorus’ unique artistic voice continues to shine for years to come, creating a legacy that celebrates your love of music and supports future generations of vocalists.

What is Planned Giving?

Planned giving is a powerful way to provide long-term stability for Sacred & Profane by including the chorus as part of your estate or financial plans. It allows you to make a significant future impact, often in ways that aren't possible through annual donations. The most common and straightforward method is a bequest—a gift designated in your will or trust. These legacy gifts ensure our mission of bringing choral music to the Bay Area continues to thrive for generations to come, while also offering potential financial benefits to you, such as tax advantages and a lasting legacy in your community.

What your legacy gift supports:

Your planned gift creates a lasting foundation for our core pillars: fostering artistic innovation by expanding the choral repertoire, enriching the singer experience with vital resources, and keeping choral music a living, accessible art form throughout the Bay Area via accessible community performances.
