Naming Chairs
Name a musician’s chair in honor of someone special, or in memory of a loved one.
All named chairs will be acknowledged wherever and whenever the position is listed in a roster, program book, brochure, and the musician’s page on our website.
Donate Your Car
Have a car taking space in your driveway or garage? Donate it to Orchestra Lumos. It is easy – we pick it up and you may get a tax deduction.
We will tow your vehicle (car, truck, boat, motorcycle) at no cost to you. You will get a donation receipt, and help Orchestra Lumos.
Call or email Lisa Rich at 203-325-1407 x3 or LRich@orchestraLumos.org
To make a gift from your IRA
The IRA Charitable Rollover provision allows individuals 70½ and older to donate up to $100,000 to charitable organizations directly from their IRA without treating the distribution as taxable income. If you wish to give but will not reach the new standard deduction threshold, this is an ideal way to continue supporting charities that you love. Please consult your professional tax advisor for more information. *This is for informational purposes and is not intended as legal or tax advice.
To make a gift of shares
Many people choose to contribute to the Orchestra Lumos by transferring securities rather than making a direct contribution of cash.
If you wish to receive further information should you hold the stock certificates yourself, if a bank or broker holds the securities for you, or if you wish to re-register the securities, please contact Walker Beard, Susanah and Naeem Fayyaz President and CEO, at 203.325.1407 x6 or by email at wbeard@orchestralumos.org.
Donating securities has several tax benefits – please consult with your tax professional for specific tax advice.
Matching Gifts
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by employees. Your gift to the Orchestra Lumos could be eligible for being doubled or even tripled! If your company will match, request a matching gift from your employer, and send it completed and signed with your gift. We will do the rest. Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
Please consider making a gift to our Annual Fund.
