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 at the London Community Foundation

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 support the Symphonia by naming London Symphonia as a Beneficiary of your policy.
