VEHICLE DONATION

The Niagara Symphony has partnered with Donate a Car Canada to accept your vehicle donation! You will be provided free towing, or you can drop off your vehicle to maximize your donation. When you donate your car, truck, RV, boat, or motorcycle to the NSO through Donate A Car Canada, it will either be recycled or re-sold (depending on its condition, age and location). Donate a Car Canada will look after all the details to make it easy for the NSO to benefit. You will receive a tax receipt after your vehicle donation has been processed.

Gift of Securities

Donating via a gift of securities is a tax-efficient way to support the Orchestra. With a donation of publicly traded securities (stocks, mutual funds, bonds, etc.) directly to the NSO you can eliminate the capital gains tax as these securities are sold. You’ll receive a charitable tax receipt for the fair-market value on the date the security is received by our broker. As well, the NSO receives the full value of the securities.

Please download, print and send the form to [email protected]
