Planned Giving

A planned gift to the Hastings Symphony Orchestra is a meaningful way to ensure that music continues to inspire, educate, and connect our community for generations to come. By including the HSO in your long-term plans, you become part of a lasting legacy that supports artistic excellence and cultural vitality well into the future.

Planned giving allows you to make a significant impact while aligning with your personal, financial, and philanthropic goals.

There are several ways to include the Hastings Symphony Orchestra in your plans:

Bequests
Include the HSO in your will or trust as a percentage, a specific amount, or a remainder of your estate.

Beneficiary Designations
Name the HSO as a beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy, or other financial asset.

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
If you are age 70½ or older, you may be able to make tax-advantaged gifts directly from your IRA.

Other Giving Options
Opportunities may include charitable gift annuities or other planned giving arrangements that provide benefits to you and your family while supporting the Symphony.

Your legacy gift helps to:

• Strengthen the HSO Permanent Endowment
• Sustain high-quality performances for future audiences
• Expand educational and community outreach programs
• Ensure long-term financial stability for the organization

Those who include the Hastings Symphony Orchestra in their estate plans become part of a special group of supporters dedicated to preserving the future of music in our region. While recognition is optional, we are honored to celebrate your commitment and generosity.

We would be happy to speak with you or your advisor about planned giving options that align with your goals.
