Your Donation Can Make A Difference.
The California Symphony is your symphony. Your charitable support enables the Symphony to continue to provide the East Bay with a world-class orchestra.
There is a direct correlation between the financial support provided by each individual donor and the achievements of the California Symphony. Ticket sales account for only 25 percent of the Symphony's operating budget. Thus, we rely on the community to help support the Symphony's tradition of musical creativity and excellence, as well as education outreach programs.
Giving is easy and offers tax and financial benefits. Just as important, giving offers the personal satisfaction of becoming a patron of the arts. There are several ways to contribute to the California Symphony, including:
- Monetary donations
- Stock gifts
- Endowment gifts
- Hassle-free automobile donations
- Estate bequests and planned giving
See below for a list of donor benefits and levels. To become a California Symphony philanthropist, download and mail a donation form, donate on line, call Judith Parker at the Symphony development office at (925) 280-2490, or e-mail jparker@californiasymphony.org.
