Plan your legacy

Cadenza Society

Become a Cadenza Society member by including a gift to the Jacksonville Symphony in your estate plans. Including the Jacksonville Symphony in your estate will ensure that the orchestra you love will be able to keep making vibrant music for generations to come. Your support means you are part of our Symphony family, and also qualifies you to be a member of the Cadenza Society.

Be recognized for your generosity!

Cadenza Society Members receive recognition, as well as invitations to:

An exclusive Cadenza Society gathering with Music Director Courtney Lewis
Premium Open Rehearsals
Annual Donor Appreciation Night

In addition to these benefits, you and your loved ones can enjoy immediate and long-term advantages of gift planning, depending on the structure of your gift. If you choose to name the Jacksonville Symphony in an insurance policy, will, living trust or as a beneficiary of another asset, view suggested language.

If you wish to name Jacksonville Symphony in your will or estate plan, we should be named as: The Jacksonville Symphony Association, a nonprofit organization with a principal business address of 300 Water Street, Suite 200, Jacksonville, FL 32202. Tax Identification Number: 59-6002520

Make a donation from your IRA

The IRA Charitable Rollover allows individuals 70½ or older to make a tax-free rollover using funds transferred directly from their IRA. This means you can donate up to $50,000 from your IRA without having to count the distribution as taxable income--and it counts towards your required minimum distribution. The IRA assets go directly to charity, so it isn’t reported as taxable income, and you don't owe any taxes on the distribution. Consult your plan administrator for more details. If you have questions about this opportunity or would like to discuss other gifts to the Jacksonville Symphony, please contact Bryan deBoer at 904.354.2767 or bdeboer@jaxsymphony.org.

Have you already designated the Symphony as a beneficiary in your estate?

To let us know of your plans or to request more information, please contact President & CEO Steven Libman at slibman@jaxsymphony.org, or Vice President of Advancement Bryan de Boer at bdeboer@jaxsymphony.org.

Meet Hazel Peters

Cadenza Society Member

The Symphony’s presentations are very first class. I would love for more people to see the Symphony and hear it. We shouldn’t take it for granted - especially the caliber of musicians who play in the orchestra. It’s about sustaining it for generations. I know that the Symphony would welcome any amount to help in that effort.”

Though Hazel and Joe are relatively young, they are already thinking about the future and how they would like to support organizations that are important to them. The Symphony is part of their planned giving.

Cadenza Society members

When you support the Symphony with a planned gift, you also join a special network of donors who share your love for symphonic music. Being a Cadenza Society Member means you are a supporter who made a future financial commitment to ensure the orchestra you love will be able to keep making vibrant music for future generations.
