OTHER WAYS TO GIVE
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.
