- Encore gifts may be directed to the Symphony’s endowment OR the Symphony Association
A strong endowment is a necessity, not a luxury. The Long Beach Symphony’s endowment plays a vital role in providing the financial support and stability that furthers the Symphony’s vision of inspiring and uniting ALL people through the transformative power music. Such dreams require support from donors willing to invest in the future of music and music education in our community.
Encore gifts to the Long Beach Symphony’s endowment fund
The Symphony’s endowment provides a steady, stable, and predictable revenue stream that allows us to plan for the Symphony’s enriching programs. Every new gift to the Symphony’s endowment increases that revenue stream. Contributions may be made in many ways. For example, cash, securities, and real property are the most common. Whether by a present or deferred gift – bequest, trust, or life insurance, for example – your contribution to the Symphony’s endowment fund helps ensure that the excellent music and meaningful programs you value are available to current and future generations.
The Symphony’s endowment fund is invested and professionally managed by The Foundation for the Long Beach Symphony. Learn more here:
Encore gifts to the Long Beach Symphony Association
The Symphony Association oversees the day-to-day operations of the Symphony. Contributions directed to the Association support the current year’s projects and expenses in the year received. Common examples include gifts that could help expand the Symphony’s music education reach, enhance our ability to engage with the highest quality guest artists, as well as modernizing Symphony operations.
On behalf of our exceptional musicians and this wonderfully diverse community we serve, we invite you to join us in turning our vision into a reality!
