Leaving a legacy gift gives you an opportunity to help us build the London Symphonia of tomorrow. Your gift will make it possible for the next generation to enjoy London Symphonia performances and vital education and community programs into the future.
For many of us, London Symphonia holds a special place in our lives. Your personal experience, whether it’s the joy of attending concerts, fond memories of music lessons as a child, or perhaps a love of orchestral music, may be the inspiration for the very important decision to make a lasting and meaningful gift to London Symphonia.
A well planned gift can provide very attractive tax benefits while also looking after the needs of your loved ones. Your financial advisor can help you choose a vehicle that is right for you and your personal financial goals. Visit the London Symphonia Will Power webpage for more information about arranging a legacy gift.
We understand that important decisions can take time. When you are ready to proceed, we will be here to assist you. In the meantime, we would like you to know how deeply we appreciate your consideration, commitment and support.
Legacy Gift Options
There are several donation options for you to consider:
Bequests
Bequests enable individuals to make significant gifts that they may not have been able to make while living - gifts that continue to make a difference for many years. Your bequest to London Symphonia may be a specific amount of money, a specific asset, or a percentage of the residue of your estate.
Gifts of Securities
Several years ago our Federal Government decided to encourage the ongoing support of the charitable sector by enabling taxpayers to donate their stocks, bonds, mutual funds and some other types of investments in kind. Upon receipt, the charity sells the securities, the donor receives a tax receipt for the fair market value of the securities and no tax is payable on any capital gain, saving significant tax dollars.
London Symphonia Endowment Fund
You may direct your donation to the London Symphonia Endowment Fund at the London Community Foundation.
Life Insurance
Gifts of life insurance, where a registered charity is a named beneficiary, can simplify estates and avoid probate taxes. With a gift of a new or existing policy you can name London Symphonia as a Beneficiary.
