The part you play is essential!

Led by our inspirational music director José Luis Gomez, the TSO is 75 musicians strong; but we can only reach our full potential with a symphony of thousands of supporters.

We love first-time donors. Join the fun!
If you’re a long-time supporter, consider an increased gift that brings you closer to the TSO. Our ambitious goals require that we raise 26% more this season than last.
Consider a monthly sustaining gift.
Be extra bold and consider your impact and benefits at the next giving level!

Thank you for your support! Together, we are forging a vibrant TSO that is as unique and exciting as our community and our region.

Crescendo Society

The Crescendo Society is the TSO’s premier giving circle. These donors make a multi-year commitment of support, giving the TSO a longer-term base of support for artistic planning. With a pledge of $5,000 or more each year, members get closer to the music through intimate events with José Luis and the musicians.

Give a QCD from Your IRA

If you are 70½ years of age, or older, you can give up to $105,000 annually from your IRA directly to a qualified charity or charities without having to pay income taxes on those funds. For married couples, each spouse can make a Qualified Charitable Donation.

Beginning in the year you turn 73, you can also use a QCD to satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD) and reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions.

To qualify, the gift must come directly from your financial institution to the TSO or other charitable organizations.
QCDs are not reported as taxable income and may help donors avoid being pushed into higher income tax brackets and prevent phaseouts of other tax deductions.
Your IRA plan administrator can advise and help you initiate the transfer.
