The Louis A. Botto Society
When Chanticleer founder, Louis Botto, passed away he left behind a powerful legacy. His work in the choral arts inspired singers of all levels and amassed a multitude of life long fans. This legacy continues to touch the lives of people around the world.
A number of Chanticleer’s loyal fans have informed the organization that they have made a provision for Chanticleer in their estate plans. These gifts range from outright donations, percentage of residual, specific gifts of property and other forms of estate plans. Planned gifts ensure that your legacy of support will continue for generations to come.

Planned giving is essential because it provides long-term financial stability for Chanticleer while allowing donors to leave a lasting legacy.
By including Chanticleer in your estate plans, donors can make a significant impact beyond their lifetime, often in ways that wouldn’t be possible through immediate gifts.
Planned gifts, such as bequests, charitable gift annuities, and trusts, help sustain programs, support future growth, and ensure the organization’s mission continues for generations to come.
Additionally, a planned gift to Chanticleer can offer financial benefits to donors, including tax advantages and the ability to provide for loved ones while supporting a cause they care about.
