You Provide The Spark

You support our mission to remove barriers to enjoying and creating great music so we can more broadly share the joy of music—from masterworks to new commissions, from your favorite film and Broadway scores to immersive chamber concerts and we bring hands-on music education to thousands of students in public schools and community centers across the region. Orchestra Lumos is your musical beacon close to home—and you make it possible.

MAKE A GIFT TO THE ANNUAL FUND

Share the Joy of Music for Generations in the Future

Planned giving allows you to provide essential support while simultaneously ensuring the longevity of Orchestra Lumos for generations to come.

The Lumos Circle recognizes individuals who have included Orchestra Lumos in their charitable estate plans. We offer various planned giving options, including bequests and beneficiary designations, IRA charitable rollovers, gifts of real estate, securities and other property. Please click here to download the brochure to learn more.

To discuss, please reach out to Russell Jones, President and CEO at 203-325-1407 x15 or rjones@orchestralumos.org

You have loved the orchestra for years – now you can support it forever.

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 Russell Jones, Orchestra Lumos President and CEO, at 203.325.1407 x15 or by email at rjones@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.
