Leave a Legacy
You can play an important role in your Symphony's future and leave a
lasting personal legacy by leaving a planned gift to the Toronto
Symphony Orchestra or to the Toronto Symphony Foundation.
What is a Planned Gift?
A planned gift is a means of contributing to a registered charity
such as the TSO, while gaining access to financial benefits for
yourself or for your estate. We suggest several ways to make a planned
gift, depending on your situation:
Where Does my Gift Go?
Planned gifts can be directed in two ways:
- The TSO Annual Fund for Operations
- The Toronto Symphony Foundation
Depending on the size of your gift, a variety of Naming
Opportunities are available as a way of personalizing your support
(i.e. the endowment of a Musician's Chair, or naming a music education
programme).
What are the Benefits of a Planned Gift?
- You make a significant contribution to the cause that is most important to you during your lifetime and beyond
- The charitable tax credit can be maximized to reduce your final income taxes payable
- When you donate shares of Canadian cultural property, listed
appreciated securities, or when you receive an annuity you may receive
additional tax benefits during your lifetime.
