Ways to Give

Thank you for making a gift to support Longy, which you can do in the following ways:

When giving through your donor advised fund, be sure to select “Longy School of Music of Bard College” as the recipient. Longy may be listed below “Bard College.” You can also recommend a grant using DAF Direct.

If you are over 70 ½, you may make up to $100,000 per year in tax-free gifts of those distributions directly to qualified nonprofits like Longy. Giving through this option does not count toward your annual charitable giving cap, which is a great advantage! Please discuss this opportunity with your financial advisor and contact Shailagh Maher, Assistant Director of Individual Giving, for more information.

Transferring stock directly to Longy can be a tax-advantaged giving option! Click here to receive our stock transfer instructions.

Make a gift with a lasting impact! Your legacy giving can include endowment support or planned gifts. ​ Endowment Funds enable Longy to thrive and serve the next generation of music equity and social change leaders for years to come.​ Planned Gifts include beneficiary designations, bequests, and more. For more information, please e-mail Madeleine Farmer, Assistant Director of Development.

Join a growing list of corporate partners who support Longy’s mission to prepare students to be the musician the world needs them to be. To review our program with flexible, tailorable benefits, please e-mail Madeleine Farmer, Assistant Director of Development.
