Gordon and Lillian Hardy Planned Giving Society

Gordon Hardy, longtime administrator and key supporter of the Aspen Music Festival and School, passed away in early 2013 after a lifetime of service, hard work, giving, and loyalty to the world of music. During his twenty-eight-year administrative tenure with the AMFS, Hardy left a rich legacy. Along with his late wife Lillian, they were dedicated to the music world. In salute to the legacy of the Hardys, the Gordon and Lillian Hardy Planned Giving Society honors those donors who have given us the highest compliment—including our organization in their estate plans.

There are a number of important ways to enter into a planned giving relationship—all of them are invaluable ways to perpetuate annual giving and transform your steadfast support into a permanent contribution to the work of the Aspen Music Festival and School. Whether it be gifts of stock, real estate, or charitable trusts providing lifetime income, a wealth of creative possibilities exists to suit your interests and objectives. If you plan to make our organization a beneficiary of your estate planning, please fill out and return our planned giving form here.
