Planned Giving

The Oregon Symphony Association in Salem began its Benefactor’s Society many years ago as a way to thank those who have made the OSAS a part of their legacy. Gifts left to the OSAS have helped to strengthen the organization in challenging times.

You can leave a legacy of music for the generations by remembering the Oregon Symphony Association in Salem when you begin, or continue, your estate planning. Here are five possible ways to do this, some of which have significant tax benefits.

• Amend your will or living trust.
• Name the OSAS in your retirement plans.
• Give all or part of a life insurance policy to the OSAS.
• Consider giving appreciated stock to the OSAS while you are living.
• Set up tax-advantaged life income gifts.

OSAS Benefactor’s Society members receive recognition in all concert programs and invitations to all of our special events. Many of our benefactors prefer to remain anonymous, and we honor those requests.

Your gift will keep symphonic music accessible for future generations and add beauty and meaning to many lives. For more information contact the OSAS office at 503-364-0149.
