Invest in the future of the LA Phil by designating the LA Phil as a beneficiary of retirement accounts, brokerage accounts, POD/TOD accounts, or Donor Advised Funds.

How it works

  1. You name the LA Phil as a beneficiary of your account during your lifetime. You will need to reach out to account administrators to obtain and return the beneficiary designation forms. Some financial institutions will allow you to designate beneficiaries through their website.
  2. After your lifetime, all or a percentage of the remaining assets in your account go to the LA Phil in support of building human connection through music.

How you benefit

  • You can control your LA Phil legacy by designating which LA Phil programs will be supported by your gift.
  • Some accounts, such as IRAs, are taxed when passed to non-spousal heirs, but avoid taxation when donated to a charity such as the LA Phil.
  • You continue to control your accounts during lifetime.
  • You can change your beneficiary designation at any time.
  • You can fund a Testamentary Charitable Remainder Trust by way of a beneficiary designation from retirement assets or brokerage account assets, which can pay income to a loved one for life or a term of years, and the remainder will go to the LA Phil.
