Great music moves us. It stirs the soul, builds community, and reminds us of something greater than ourselves. And when music is created and performed at the highest level, as it is by Seraphic Fire, it becomes timeless.
At Seraphic Fire, we believe that what we do extends beyond a single concert or season. Each performance, each education program, and each student inspired is part of a larger story. For that story to continue, we must plan ahead. That’s where planned giving comes in.
What Is Planned Giving?
Planned giving is the act of including a charitable organization in your long-term financial or estate plans. It allows donors to make a significant impact on the future of the organizations they love, often without affecting their current financial situation. For many supporters of the arts, planned giving becomes a way to make a final, enduring statement about what matters most to them.
Through a bequest in your will, a trust arrangement, or a beneficiary designation, you can help sustain Seraphic Fire for years to come. These gifts provide critical support that allows us to plan strategically, grow intentionally, and serve our community more deeply.
Why It Matters
Annual donations are essential for keeping our programs running, but legacy gifts are what keep us dreaming. They give us the confidence to pursue ambitious artistic goals, invest in future artists, and expand our education programs into underserved schools across South Florida.
Planned gifts ensure that our mission will thrive long after today’s season ends. They help protect Seraphic Fire from future economic uncertainty and allow us to remain a cornerstone of Florida’s cultural landscape. More than anything, they affirm the value of the music we create and the lives we touch.
For many, the act of making a planned gift becomes deeply personal. It is a way to reflect their values and pass them on. It is a quiet, powerful statement that says: I believe in beauty, in education, in excellence, and I want that to endure.
The Legacy Society
When you include Seraphic Fire in your estate plans, you become a member of our Legacy Society. This special group of supporters has made a long-term commitment to sustaining our mission and ensuring our music continues to inspire future generations.
Legacy Society members are recognized for their vision and generosity. Whether your gift is large or modest, your support helps Seraphic Fire build a foundation for the future. These gifts allow us to expand our education initiatives, bring our concerts to new communities, and continue attracting the finest vocal talent from across the nation.
If you’ve already made a planned gift, we invite you to let us know. We would be honored to welcome you to the Legacy Society and celebrate your decision. Your commitment serves as an inspiration to others who share your passion for great choral music.
A Gift That Echoes Beyond a Lifetime
Seraphic Fire’s legacy is not just the sound of a perfectly blended chord or the moment of stillness after a final note. It is the countless students who have found their voice through our education programs. It is the audiences who have been moved in concert halls from Miami, Coral Gables, Ft. Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and Naples. And it is the community we have built through our shared love of music.
By making a planned gift, you become part of that legacy. You help guarantee that Seraphic Fire continues to uplift, educate, and inspire long into the future.
If our music has brought joy, meaning, or beauty into your life, we invite you to help us pass that gift forward.
