PLANNED GIVING
Planned Giving is the practice of designating a major gift to a charitable organization while alive or as part of an Estate Plan to leave a legacy. An endowment gift to the Society of American Magicians Magic Endowment Fund is an investment for the future of Magic.
“I was privileged to be the recipient of a Harry and Trudy Monti College Scholarship through the Magic Endowment Fund. The scholarship helped me further my education in magic and business, leading to a career in the performing arts. The MEF has also provided scholarships to my compeers to assist in their growth as young adults and provide a foundation in the wonderful world of magic. I encourage all to donate to the MEF to help grow the art of magic. Thank you.”
