Matching Gifts:
This unique opportunity displays your individual support alongside the support of your employer. Many employers sponsor an Employee Matching Gifts Program that will match your gift and double your support to the Virginia Symphony. View a sample list of corporations currently participating in matching gift programs. Please see your Human Resource Department today for more information.
Planned Giving:
Planned Giving offers you the opportunity to establish your support of the Virginia Symphony as your legacy. There are a number of ways that you can create a planned giving campaign. Many supporters choose to make provisions for the Symphony through bequests in their wills and trusts. Others choose to take advantage of a Gift Annuity that enables you to make a gift of cash or property in exchange for a fixed income for the life of the beneficiary. As a donor, you can also choose to use a number of trust options ranging from a Charitable Remainder Trust to a Charitable Income Lead Trust. All of these options offer significant benefits to an individual or couple, tax deductions, and a good rate of return. For more information you can view our online Giving Table or contact Jen Barbee in the Development Department at 757-213-1419 or jbarbee@virginiasymphony.org.
By contributing to the Virginia Symphony through one of the planned giving options you will become a member of the Legacy Society. As primarily a social group, the members of the Legacy Society plan and participate in a number of events throughout the season. These events include recitals with Symphony musicians in private homes, dinners and special pre-concert receptions.
If you have already made arrangements to support the Symphony through planned giving, please contact us so that we can recognize you as a member of the Legacy Society.
Gifts of Securities:
Making a gift of appreciated stock to the Annual Fund can offer you significant tax advantages. By making this investment you may deduct the full market value of the stock at the time of your purchase without any capital gain tax.
