Giving Options
Gifts by Will or Trust
A charitable gift from your estate is a favored method of giving that enables you to achieve your financial goals, maintain control of your assets, and benefit the LA Phil.
Retirement Assets
A gift of your retirement assets, such as an employee retirement plan, IRA, or tax-sheltered annuity, is an excellent way to make a gift. A gift of these assets can shield your heirs from taxes while funding the LA Phil's future.
Stocks & Bonds
Giving appreciated stock that you have owned for more than one year is one of the most tax-advantaged ways to make charitable gifts. With careful planning, you can reduce your capital gains tax while supporting the LA Phil.

Donor-Advised Fund
A donor-advised fund can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier for years to come. Might a donor-advised fund be right for you? Here’s how it works.
The IRA Gift (QCD)
The IRA charitable rollover (also called the Qualified Charitable Distribution, or QCD) is a great way to make a tax-free gift to the LA Phil.
Life Insurance
Life insurance is a valuable asset for making a charitable gift. You can make a gift of a life insurance policy without diminishing other investments or assets earmarked for family members.
POD/TOD accounts
Naming the LA Phil as a payable-on-death (POD) or transfer-on-death (TOD) beneficiary of a financial account is one of the simplest ways you can make a lasting gift.
Real Estate
A gift of real estate allows you to preserve your cash assets, receive tax and income advantages, and make a significant charitable gift to the LA Phil.
Personal Property
A gift of artwork, coins, antiques, or other personal property can be an excellent way to support the LA Phil.
Charitable Lead Trust
Make a substantial gift to the LA Phil in the form of fixed annual payments and pass assets to your family or other heirs at reduced tax cost.
