PLANNED GIVING
A Bridge to the Future

Make a Lasting Impact—Now and Beyond Your Lifetime

When you include the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra as part of your legacy, your generosity enhances our work to provide local musicians performance opportunities and excellent music education programs for our community’s youth.

Thank you for ensuring WSO can continue to serve those in need now and for generations to come.

Planned gifts, such as making a bequest through a will or trust or establishing an annuity, can be a great way to provide support for the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra in the future. After making provisions for you, your family and those closest to you, a legacy gift to the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra will have a meaningful impact on future generations. Such gifts may also be eligible for important charitable income and/or gift or estate tax deductions. The funds received from planned gifts support the WSO’s long-term stability and may also be designated to help build our endowment fund.

The Wilmington Symphony Orchestra encourages you to contact your financial or estate professional for legal advice.
