ENSURE YOUR LEGACY
The Cliburn would like to work with you as you think about ways to give the joy of music to future generations through your long-range financial plans. By combining your philanthropic giving with tax and other financial strategies, you can play a critical role in the Cliburn’s future.
You can also let others know your intent by joining the Cliburn’s Legacy Society, which was created to recognize those who wanted to give to the Cliburn once they were no longer living. Once you inform us that you have put the Cliburn as a beneficiary of an asset or have included the Cliburn as a part of your estate plan, your name will join the list of others who have made the same decision.
To discuss your legacy with the Cliburn, please contact Cliburn at 817.738.6536 or donate@cliburn.org.

Sue & John Allen Chalk
“Endowments encourage and protect legacies that otherwise are subject to neglect and attrition. The Cliburn Endowment helps assure the future of what are now the multiple Cliburn competitions.”
Mary Cravens Wysong Haney
The first official member of the Cliburn’s Legacy Society. “I just wanted to inspire others. This is a way of leveraging a relatively small gift into a significant gift later.”
Shirley & Bill McIntyre
“The Cliburn enriches the participants’ lives with their talent, experience, confidence, the feeling of being a part of a large community, and being connected with people and other artists.”
