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.

Concert Sponsorships
The Symphony welcomes sponsors and co-sponsors for each of the concert series - Symphony, International Chamber and Pops - and for individual concerts.

Commercial sponsors and co-sponsors of a concert or Series must be from different business segments. Only four co-sponsors per series or event.

Contact the Symphony for pricing and more details.

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.

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 $300 for a principal ‘chair,’ $350 for the Concertmaster’s ‘chair’ and $500 for the ‘Directorship’.

Check to see which chairs are still available by emailing Nancy Wright at

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.
