An increasingly popular way to make a gift, one with significant tax advantages, a donor advised fund (DAF) is a sort of personalized, charitable savings account. You contribute cash, stocks, real estate or other assets to a public charity like Schwab Charitable, Fidelity Charitable, or the Orange County Community Foundation. You may invest these funds for tax-free growth and recommend grants to nonprofits like Pacific Symphony over time.
If you are 70½ or older, you may avoid paying tax on your Required Minimum Distribution when you convert it to a Qualified Charitable Donation! Please forward our address and Tax ID# to your IRA Custodian and let them know to include your name when they distribute the contribution so we may recognize you properly.
To donate by wire transfer, please contact Nikki Palley at (714) 876-2365 or npalley@pacificsymphony.org.
Pacific Symphony can accept gifts of stock. Click here for detailed instructions on how to transfer appreciated securities to the Symphony. Brokerage firms don’t always release the names of their clients, so let us know about your intent to make a gift so that we can identify your generous gift and issue a tax receipt!
Many companies will match gifts of current and/or retired employees, doubling or even tripling your impact. Check with your Personnel, Benefits, or Human Resources Department to find out if your employer will match your gift. See a sample list of employers who offer matching gift opportunities.
