Legacy giving

Let music be your legacy

Keep the emotion alive. Extend your impact.

By leaving a part of your estate to the OSM, you become a true vector of emotion and wonder. By making this gesture, you contribute to sustaining the orchestra’s mission to allow future generations to discover the power of music.

Planned giving allows you to deepen and extend your impact on your Orchestra.

Today and tomorrow, so that music never fades.

The lasting impact of your bequest or planned gift

Several donation options are available:

- The gift in will: the simplest option, accessible to any adult who is able to sign a will.
- RRSPs and RRIFs: in certain situations, this type of gift can significantly reduce the tax burden on an estate while minimizing – or even eliminating – the impact of the gift on the estate itself.
- The gift of life insurance: a strategy that adapts to your family situation and allows you to make a significant gift at a lower cost.

For more information, read our brochure.

In complete confidentiality, the planned giving team is available to answer any questions you may have at cerclewp@osm.ca or by phone at 514 840-7404.

"I invite all those who love these concerts as much as I do to follow my example; a planned giving donation will bring you immense gratification every time you set foot in the beautiful Maison Symphonique. And if you have children, bring them along – they will surely appreciate it."

Marie Thibault, donor

“Sharing is a principle I inherited from my parents. It seems natural to me to want the OSM to benefit from this money so that it can continue to create educational programs to develop and attract future generations of music lovers.”

Marina Gusti, donor

"Making a planned donation to the OSM is a way to allow the Orchestra we have loved and supported for many years to continue to grow and flourish. As my father was for me, I hope to be an example of generosity and philanthropy for my son Soren."

Sue Wehner, donor

"To perpetuate the family tradition and ensure the longevity of the orchestra and its social involvement, we joyfully contribute by making an annual donation as well as a testamentary gift to the OSM."
