A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that you can open through a financial institution or community foundation. A DAF might be a great way to combine the most favorable tax benefits for you and your philanthropic support of our mission. To make a gift through your DAF, contact your fund administrator. If you have a DAF through Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or BNY Mellon, you may make your recommendation by emailing info@lowellphilharmonic.org.

Please note: According to IRS guidelines and LPO policy, donor-advised funds and qualified charitable distributions (QCD) from an IRA account may not be used to pay for any portion of a fundraising event ticket. Donor-advised funds and QCD’s may be used to pay for a donation to a fundraising event that is in addition to the face value of the gala event ticket(s) purchased.

Email info@lowellphilharmonic.org to donate via wire transfer.

Email info@lowellphilharmonic.org to donate via gifts of stock.

Are you looking for a tax-effective way to make a gift to the LPO? A charitable gift rollover from your individual retirement account (IRA) may be your best option. If you are interested in making a gift from your IRA, please contact your IRA administrator. If you have additional questions about IRA giving, contact Bill Harrer, Treasurer at bharrer@lowellphilharmonic.org.

Matching gifts can amplify the impact of your donation. Check to see if your employer offers a matching gift program. You can indicate that you are making a matched gift when you donate online.
