Planned or deferred gifts not only support the Houston Symphony but potentially provide donors with a variety of benefits to meet individual financial needs. Since 1913, the Houston Symphony has provided the thrill of orchestral music to our community. As a result of this 91-year legacy, Houston today has a preeminent orchestra in which we can all be proud. Preserving and building on the accomplishments of the Houston Symphony is the mission of The Legacy Society.
The Legacy Society offers opportunities for you to ensure the future
of the Houston Symphony through a philanthropic gift, while receiving maximum
tax and estate benefits that enhance your financial well-being. Legacy Society
members acknowledge the importance of an endowment that provides for exceptional
standards of musical excellence and service for many generations to come. Membership
in The Legacy Society is available through the following ways of giving:
Bequests, Life Insurance, Qualified Retirement Plans, Charitable Remainder Trusts
and Charitable Lead Trusts. The Houston Symphony invites your inquiries concerning
ways to realize the greatest possible personal and financial satisfaction from
making a charitable gift.
