THE AVANTI SOCIETY
Ensuring the Future
Imagine a gift that outlives you, allowing future generations to experience and enjoy the world of opera and dance. That’s the goal of The Avanti Society, Michigan Opera Theatre’s Planned Gift Recognition Program.
The Italian word avanti means “ahead,” or “forward.” The Avanti Society at Michigan Opera Theatre represents a designated group of friends of Michigan Opera Theatre who have made plans to include the organization in their estate plans – whether by will, trust, insurance, or life income arrangement. Membership in The Avanti Society is open to all.
In thanks for their generous support, Avanti Society members are given special benefits and recognition for their heartfelt commitment to Michigan Opera Theatre. Membership benefits to The Avanti Society include:
- Your name(s) listed in the opera and dance program books under the Avanti Society listing
- An annual Avanti Society event held exclusively for members of the Avanti Society
- Invitations to special events and previews
- An Avanti Society lapel pin
The growth of Michigan Opera Theatre’s permanent Endowment Fund ensures the growth and future vitality of one of the region’s greatest cultural assets. You are invited to create your own legacy – your Avanti - through Michigan Opera Theatre.
