Leave a Legacy through Music
How can your love for symphonic music continue to make a positive impact on our community for future generations? By planning a legacy gift to the Alabama Symphony Orchestra (ASO), you can forever support a cause close to your heart and ensure that the ASO’s artistry continues to entertain, inspire, educate, and enrich our community.
HOW TO COMPOSE YOUR LEGACY
What is Legacy Giving?
Legacy giving, also called planned giving, means that you plan today for a gift tomorrow with charitable contributions through your financial or estate plans. Legacy gifts support the future of the ASO, sustaining artistic excellence, funding music education programs, and improving access to the arts for Alabamians. A planned gift can also offer significant tax benefits to you and your loved ones.
Simple Ways to Give
A gift plan does not affect your current finances and does not have to be complicated. You can focus on your top financial priorities now and play a vital role in our future while honoring your passion for music.
- Bequests: Include the ASO in your will or trust.
- IRA Charitable Rollovers: Make a tax-advantaged donation directly from your retirement account.
- Life Insurance or Retirement Plan Beneficiary Designations: Name the ASO as a beneficiary.
Special Naming Opportunities
There are opportunities to designate your legacy by naming ASO musicians’ chairs or vital programs after someone you love.
The Encore Society
The Encore Society recognizes and celebrates the generosity of those who include a legacy gift of any amount in their financial plans, thus providing for the future of the ASO and our great work in the community. When you document a legacy gift to the ASO, you become a member of the Encore Society, joining a distinguished group of patrons who believe in the enduring power of music. We honor our Encore Society members with an annual recognition event. If you tell us about your gift plan now, we can ensure that it is used and acknowledged as you intend and will include you as a member of our Encore Society.
