A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to support Zephyr Symphony while also managing your charitable giving. Think of a DAF as a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting organizations you care about. You contribute to your fund—often receiving an immediate tax deduction—and then recommend grants to charities over time.

Did you know your gift to Zephyr Symphony could be doubled—or even tripled—at no additional cost to you? Many employers sponsor corporate matching gift programs that will match the charitable contributions of their employees, retirees, or even spouses. By taking advantage of these programs, you can increase the impact of your generosity and help us reach even more people with the power of music.

Donating appreciated stock is one of the most impactful and tax-efficient ways to support Zephyr Symphony. By giving stock directly, rather than selling it first, you can avoid paying capital gains taxes on the increased value. At the same time, you may receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities. This means your gift may go further—benefiting both you and the Symphony.

LEGACY GIVING

Gentle as the west wind, enduring as music itself.

The Zephyros Society honors those who include Zephyr Symphony in their legacy plans, ensuring that the beauty of music continues to flow into future generations. Like the west wind of spring, your gift carries forward renewal, inspiration, and the promise of tomorrow.
