SUPPORT US
Ticket sales cover less than half the total budget of any performing arts organization. Please consider making a charitable contribution to the Punta Gorda Symphony. Your gifts make our mainstage performances, and all our programs, possible. Thank you!
Gifts are also accepted through donor-advised funds, estate plans, and corporate matching programs. For assistance in making arrangements, please contact the office at 941-205-5996 or jennifer@PGsymphony.org.
WAYS TO GIVE
Annual Fund
Gifts of all sizes enable us to provide quality orchestral programming to our community.
Annual Required Minimum Distribution
Consider the PGSymphony when taking the required minimum distribution from your IRA. You can have the payment directed right to us, and avoid the taxes altogether.
Legacy Society
Please think of us when making your estate plans. And if you already have us listed in your will, please notify the office so we may acknowledge you properly for this meaningful gesture!
Stock Transfer
We use StockDonator.com so it’s easy to transfer stock as a charitable contribution.
