Invest in the Music — Donate Stock

A gift of appreciated securities is one of the most impactful ways to support the Central Oregon Symphony. By donating stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that have increased in value, you help sustain live orchestral performances, support the talented musicians who bring this music to life, and expand music education and community programs throughout Central Oregon.

Why do many donors choose to give stock?

• Make a greater impact – Donating appreciated securities may allow you to give more than you might with cash alone.

• Receive potential tax benefits – Many donors can claim a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the securities.

• Avoid capital gains taxes – By donating stock directly, you may avoid the capital gains tax that would apply if you sold the asset first.

Your generosity helps ensure that symphonic music continues to thrive in our community.

Even a single gift of appreciated stock can have a greater impact than a cash donation of the same amount.
