LEGACY GIFTS

Some ideas to discuss with your tax and estate planning advisors:

A bequest in a will or trust is a simple and effective way to make a legacy gift.

An IRA or other retirement plan beneficiary designation removes assets from your taxable estate.

A donor-advised fund lets you take tax deductions for your gift today, keeping the actual cash in a special fund to grow tax-free while you make gifts to the charitable beneficiaries you select. You can make gifts to Summermusik from a donor-advised fund during your lifetime. Or you can designate Summermusik to receive all or part of the funds remaining in your donor advised fund at the end of your life.

OTHER LEGACY GIFTS

A gift of appreciated property, including stocks, bonds, real estate and personal property lets you take a deduction for the full fair-market value of your gift while avoiding capital gain and net investment income taxes on that appreciation.

An insurance policy passes directly to Summermusik without triggering any income or estate taxes.

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70½ years old or older to donate up to $111,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions.

Other vehicles such as a charitable gift annuity, a charitable lead trust, charitable remainder trust and a pooled income fund provide other tax and planning advantages that may be suitable for donors who are interested in a stream of income during their lifetimes.

INDIVIDUAL SPONSORSHIPS

Support of Summermusik helps create a thriving arts community in Cincinnati. Bringing your personal sponsorship to our August Festival helps us with everything it takes to create meaningful and adventurous music. The size of our “chambers” makes it possible for audiences to get up close.

Personally, you’ll benefit by supporting the music that reaches people from across the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. You’ll get some nice benefits.

Consider the benefits of sponsoring Summermusik as a Series Sponsor or Single Event Sponsor (at several levels). Boost your brand and expand your marketing reach. Gain positive public visibility and build community relations. Show that your business cares about local quality of life, cultural accessibility, and civic pride.

Also, the perks make it especially fun!

PROGRAM BOOK ADS

Our audience often include high-net-worth individuals, business leaders, donors, and community influencers who make up a lucrative consumer base. The program book is something they look through while waiting for the concert to begin.

Available in print and digital formats, it contains interesting background articles on the repertoire selections, filled with information about guest artists and conductors. It’s format and quality are high-quality and create a beautiful showcase for your company’s message long after the season has ended.
