- Please consider making 'The Friends of Richard J. Reynolds Auditorium' part of your final estate
-
By naming ‘The Friends of Richard J. Reynolds Auditorium’ organization as a beneficiary of a portion of your final estate - such as a portion of your IRA or retirement plan, life insurance policy, bank account or donor advised fund - you can do your part in helping future RJR students that focus on the performing arts have as meaningful an experience at Reynolds High School as you did.
Because this is a gift you make after your lifetime, your current budget isn't affected, and you can change your mind at any time. You can name multiple charitable organizations as beneficiaries of your retirement account, life insurance policy or both. Beneficiary designations give you the flexibility to provide for the different important causes in your life in ways that are meaningful to you.
Make your gift in 3 easy steps:
1) Contact your retirement plan administrator, insurance company, bank or financial institution for a change-of-beneficiary form or download a form from your provider's website.
2) Decide what percentage of the account or policy's value, or what dollar amount you wish to give to ‘The Friends of Richard J. Reynolds Auditorium.’ Return the form.
3) Notify us of this gift, so we can thank you and to ensure your gift will be used as you intend. The easiest way to do that is send a letter to us. That letter should be mailed to:
Friends of Reynolds Auditorium
PO Box 25523
Winston-Salem, NC 27114.
Also, please know that you (or your estate) can give a donation comprised of stocks. The shares of stock should be wired to the 'The Friends of Richard J. Reynolds Auditorium' account with BB&T (DTC #0702; account #11731470). Please make a note with your final wishes stating that a letter should be mailed to 'Friends of Reynolds Auditorium' telling us:
- the person making the donation, and the mailing address of the donor
- a description (name of the stock) and number of shares of stock being transferred
- the name of the brokerage firm used by the donor.
