Support the Green Music Center

Like most capital projects of this size, substantial fundraising continues during the final phase of construction. Most people think of cash gifts first, but even cash includes several options. Instead of making a single donation, consider a multi-year pledge which can increase your contribution (and tax benefits) by spreading payments over time. Many employers offer a matching gift program; contact your human resources office to find out. Stocks and bonds offer another gift option. Gifts of appreciated securities not only can provide income tax deductions but can help save on capital gains taxes as well.

Other possibilities include gifts of real property, memorial gifts, and including the Green Music Center in your estate plan. All of the above hold possible tax advantages, so consult your financial advisor regarding the best way to support the GMC.

Naming Opportunities
The most prestigious funding options still available are naming: the main recital hall at the Green Music Center complex ($7 million) and the musicians’ pavilion ($1,250,000). Your gift could honor a community member or a loved one. There are also many other naming opportunities between $5,000 and $1 million.
