Planned and Estate Giving: The Helen Corning Warden Society

The Helen Corning Warden Society was established to recognize those who have included a bequest or other deferred gift arrangement for The Academy of Vocal Arts in their financial plans. We invite you to join this very special group of friends who have planned for their own and for AVA's future through participation in the Helen Corning Warden Society.

You can make a gift to the endowment at The Academy of Vocal Arts through a gift of cash, marketable securities or a pledge. Or you can use planned gifts such as bequests, charitable remainder trusts, AVA's pooled income fund, or other deferred gifts to create an endowed fund or gift in perpetuity.

Discussion of planned giving options on this site is not intended to constitute legal, tax or other professional advice. Because the estate and gift tax consequences will vary depending upon the individual circumstances of the donors, you should consult with your lawyer or tax advisor before making a substantial gift to AVA.

Please contact Robert W. Lyon, Director of Institutional Advancement at 215.735.1685 or rlyon@avaopera.org to discuss the giving options.
