Endowment & Planned Giving
The POV Foundation
Please consider supporting the future of opera in our community through a gift to the Pacific Opera Victoria Foundation or by considering Pacific Opera in your estate plans.
Pacific Opera Victoria receives donations for annual operations through such campaigns as The POV Producers and The President's Circle. The Pacific Opera Victoria Foundation is the endowment component of Pacific Opera Victoria.
An endowment is like a permanent trust fund for the company. Donations to the POV Foundation are invested for long term growth, and interest from these funds supports the work of Pacific Opera in perpetuity.

Bonnie E. Campbell, Dick Cavaye, Heather Fisher
David Flaherty, Gary Moser, Ray Protti.
The Bravo Society
The Bravo Society was established to honour and recognize the generosity and vision of those who are creating a legacy for opera. The Bravo Society honours those who have arranged a donation to the POV Foundation in their wills, as well as those who have made some other type of future gift such ans an insurance policy, an annuity, or a trust arrangement.
By naming the POV Foundation as a beneficiary in your will, you can support the sustainability and vitality of Pacific Opera Victoria for generations to come. You may also realize significant tax savings for your estate.
With permission, members of the Bravo Society are identified in our house programme donor listings by the symbol - B. Members may also be anonymous.
A gift or bequest that best suits your personal interests may be worked out with your lawyer, accountant, or financial advisor. Your gift will help ensure that the magic of opera lives on for generations.
