Have you considered a gift to Abendmusik? Here are ways you can do so:

1. Make a donation. Anyone can be a donor – no gift is too small. Consider setting up a convenient, automatically recurring donation (“Sustained Giving”). Call us at (402) 476-9933 or send us a message at info@abendmusik.org for details.

SPONSORSHIP TIERS

For all tiers, your name will appear in our full-color season program under the tier you select. Your name will also be announced from the stage at the concert of your choice. The following additional benefits also apply:

Supporting Sponsor ($1,000‒$2,499). Your name announced as “with the support of...”

Livestream Sponsor ($1,000‒$2,499). If you watch us online, consider being a Livestream Sponsor to help us reach our viewers across the nation and around the world. Your name will be listed as a sponsor in the livestream credits and announced from the stage as “concert livestream made possible by...”

Concert Co-Sponsor ($2,500‒$4,999). Your name announced as “concert co-sponsored by...”

Concert Sponsor ($5,000‒$9,999). Your name announced as “concert sponsored by...”

Season Sponsor ($10,000‒$19,999). At this generous level, your name will be acknowledged in print and announced from the stage at every concert as a Season Sponsor.

Sustaining or Corporate Sponsors ($20,000 and above). All of the above benefits plus a special individual or corporate highlight and acknowledgement profile in Abendmusik’s e-newsletter that reaches over 2,000 unique email addresses.

3. Qualified Charitable Contribution (QCD). If you are 70½ or older, you may make QCD to Abendmusik from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). There are several tax benefits:

a. IRA rollover amounts are not included in your gross income calculations, so you may save on Federal income and Social Security income taxes, avoid the Medicare tax, and other tax savings.

b. If you do not itemize deductions and therefore would not otherwise receive a tax deduction for your charitable gift, an IRA rollover gift allows you to enjoy an equivalent tax benefit without requiring you to itemize.

c. IRA rollover payments are not subject to the annual ceiling on charitable deductions or the phaseouts of deductions for high earners.

4. Legacy Gift. Perhaps you would consider adding a “Legacy” gift to your estate plans. It’s a wonderful way of remembering Abendmusik and ensuring your future support.

Call Matt Finkner, Executive Director of Abendmusik, at (402) 450-4522

or send a message to matthew@abendmusik.org for details on QCD and Legacy giving.

Thank you for supporting Abendmusik at First Plymouth!
