More InfoDo you remember your first experience at the Kennedy Center? Maybe an NSO concert in the Concert Hall or WNO performance in the Opera House, perhaps watching the annual Kennedy Center Honors, or taking advantage of one of the thousands of free events at the Center and in the community. Think about that first experience—and all of the experiences you have had since. Would you like to help ensure that others have the opportunity to experience the power of the performing arts too?
Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support for the Kennedy Center, National Symphony Orchestra, or Washington National Opera, while achieving your own philanthropic, estate-planning, and financial goals. Planned gifts can benefit you and your loved ones today and in the future, and allow the Center to present the world's most renowned artists, engage students and learners of all ages through arts education, create groundbreaking new works, and celebrate President Kennedy's proud arts legacy.
