Legacy Circle

Help secure the vision of the American Recorder Society: a future where the recorder and its music is accessible to all, where it is valued and supported across generations, ethnicities, and cultures.


Please consider creating a bequest to the American Recorder Society through the Legacy Circle.  It is the easiest way for you to make a significant gift after your lifetime. Your bequest will ensure the artistic and educational future well into the 21st century, benefiting generations to come.

Include the American Recorder Society in your estate planning as a beneficiary under your will, your IRA final distribution, your pension plan, or an insurance policy. These are steps you can take to help secure the future of the recorder, and they cost you nothing now. You can email us or call the office toll-free at 844-509-1422 to let us know you would like to be part of the Legacy Circle.

We look forward to properly thanking you and expressing to you the importance of your gift. We respect your wishes to remain anonymous, if you so choose, and any details of your gift that you wish to disclose are held in confidence.

When you become a member of the ARS Legacy Circle, we thank you by listing your name in the ARS Legacy Circle.

The American Recorder Society invites you to be a part of this important group.  With your support, we can secure the future of the ARS!
