By making a gift to the OEBS Endowment Fund, you become an integral part of the exceptional programs and community contributions made by the Symphony. Gifts to the Endowment may be made on an unrestricted basis or designated for specific purposes, and are tax deductible as allowed by federal and state law. OEBS encourages unrestricted contributions, which provide the greatest long-term flexibility in achieving artistic, educational, and community goals. General purpose gifts to the Endowment may name a program or chair in perpetuity or, for a lesser amount, a period of years. There are many opportunities for providing an Endowment gift in addition to your contribution to our Annual Campaign.
Outright gifts provide OEBS with immediately available and much needed investment income.
These contributions can be fullfilled by pledge payment over a period of years. In addition, planned gifts such as charitable trusts, bequests, trust provisions, and life insurance enable meaningful contributins to the Endowment.
