My Legacy. My TSO.
For
more than 85 years, your Toronto Symphony Orchestra has served our
community with excellent performances of live orchestral music, and has
been the provider of one of the largest musical education programmes in
Canada.
You can play an important role in your Symphony's future and leave a
lasting personal legacy by leaving a planned gift to the Toronto
Symphony Orchestra or to the Toronto Symphony Foundation.
A planned gift allows you to personalize your donation in a way that is meaningful to you.

What is a Planned Gift?
A planned gift is a means of contributing to a registered charity
such as the TSO, while gaining access to financial benefits for
yourself or for your estate. We suggest several ways to make a planned
gift, depending on your situation:
Where Does my Gift Go?
Planned gifts can be directed in two ways:
- The TSO Annual Fund for Operations
- The Toronto Symphony Foundation
Depending on the size of your gift, a variety of Naming
Opportunities are available as a way of personalizing your support
(i.e. the endowment of a Musician's Chair, or naming a music education
programme). Naming Opportunities are available for one year, or in
perpetuity.
What are the Benefits of a Planned Gift?
- You make a significant contribution to the cause that is most important to you during your lifetime and beyond;
- The charitable tax credit can be maximized to reduce your final income taxes payable;
- When you donate shares of Canadian cultural property, listed
appreciated securities, or when you receive an annuity you may receive
additional tax benefits during your lifetime.
