NAME TOSCO MUSIC AS A BENEFICIARY
Naming Tosco as a beneficiary on your retirement account or life insurance policy is a simple and powerful way to support the work of our organization without changing your will or living trust. Beneficiary designation gifts pass directly to us without going through the probate process and go right to work to help us build community through music.
Retirement accounts
Many of our donors name us as a beneficiary of all or a specified percentage of their IRA, 401(k), 403(b), or other retirement plan.
Individuals who inherit retirement plan assets are usually required to pay income tax on them, so they're often considered among the best assets to leave to charity.
