Benefits, donation levels, and volunteer opportunities
The Lewisville Lake Symphony is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit institution,
thus gifts are tax deductible.
A gift, at bronze level and above, automatically enrolls you as a member
of the Lewisville Lake Symphony Association. This gives you a say in
how the Symphony is run. Members elect the Association's Board of
Directors, who in turn, are responsible for the direction of the Symphony.

Chairs
Ticket sales never cover the
cost of a performance. You can help our orchestra by ‘naming a chair.’
As with other orchestras, our principal players are recognized by
Symphony patrons who have a particular affinity for the player’s
instrument. Patrons can elect to assign their own name to the ‘chair’
or, if they wish, memorialize somebody in their family.
Our orchestra has
11 principal players and the Concertmaster whose ‘chairs’ can be named.
By tradition, the Music Director / Conductor’s sponsorship is that of
the ‘Music Directorship’ or the ‘Podium.’ depending on the benefactor’s
choice. All proceeds go to the Lewisville Lake Symphony.
The tax-deductible
sponsorship fee is $250 for a principal ‘chair,’ $350 for the
Concertmaster’s ‘chair’ and $500 for the ‘Directorship’.
Some sponsorships have already been taken.
Some are still available. Contact the Symphony Guild Vice President,
Lyn Cleghorn, if you would like more information.

You can turn a capital gain into
a tax deduction
-- and help the Symphony!
One way to help yourself and help the
Symphony is to donate stock to a charitable fund operated by a financial
organization like Schwab or Fidelity. These charitable funds allow you to
‘recommend’ grants to non-profit organizations like the Symphony up to the
amount you have donated to the fund. This government-blessed strategy
allows you to turn capital gains into tax deductions. Your broker or
financial advisor can provide you with more information.
Double your donation with corporate matching funds
You
may be able to double your donation with a grant from your employer.
Many companies support the arts by offering grants that match donations
made by employees or retirees. Check with your HR or Community Affairs
Departments. The Association can provide all the information required
by your company such as our non-profit status, EIN number, etc.
Symphony Guild
The Symphony Association is responsible
for policy matters. The Lewisville Symphony Guild makes the wheels
go round. The Guild is made up of volunteers who bring a wide
diversity of skills and experience to running the business side of the
Symphony. We always need additional volunteers and new ideas.
Your help will be very valuable.
