Ways to Give
Annual Fund Giving
Your gift to our Annual Fund supports great concerts featuring the works of Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms and much, much more. Plus, talented soloists such as lrina Muresanu, Maya Anjali Buchanan, Jeffrey Biegel, and Inna Faliks. Every gift, whatever its size, is recognized with gratitude in our concert programs and ensures the ESO remains healthy and strong, now and in the future!
Donate to Join Our Community of Supporters
You share the excitement when Maestro Eckerling and the Evanston Symphony Orchestra take the stage. Now you can “support” the orchestra with your financial gift or monthly giving to the Annual Fund.
Matching Gifts
If your employer matches their employees’ gifts to non-profit organizations, every dollar you give to the Evanston Symphony Orchestra could have twice the impact or even more for the ESO! When making your gift to the ESO, please contact your Employee Benefits Administrator or Corporate Giving Department about matching gifts.
Tribute Gifts
A tribute gift to the Evanston Symphony is a wonderful way to celebrate a milestone like a birthday or anniversary, or to recognize accomplishments like graduations, promotions or other special occasions. It can also honor the memory of a dear friend or relative. An honor or memorial gift to the Evanston Symphony Orchestra expresses your feelings in a unique way and is a moving tribute to a loved one who cherishes music and cares about enriching our community. Tribute gifts are listed in our programs and in Keynotes.
Gifts of Appreciated Securities
Making a gift of stock, bonds, mutual funds or other securities that have increased in value could help you achieve both your financial and charitable goals. When you give securities directly to the ESO, you bypass capital gains taxes that would be due on a sale and reduce your federal and perhaps state income taxes. To find out more about the benefits of making a gift of securities, please contact us at 847.864.8804.
