Ways to Support the Chorale

If you want to help keep the music and excellent performances you love by the SHMC for years to come, here are some suggestions:

Memorials and Tribute Gifts – Donations may be in honor of or as a remembrance of a loved one or a singer in the chorale.

Legacy and Life Insurance Gifts – You can name the South Holland Master Chorale as a Beneficiary on your insurance, IRA, or in your will.

Qualified Charitable Distributions – If you are 70½ or over, you can use part of your IRA Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) to make a tax-free donation to the chorale. Please click here for more helpful information about this option. (click the link for details)

Appreciated Stock Donations – Contributing appreciated long-term assets, such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, to a charity provides benefits to you and your charity: (1) You avoid capital gains taxes on the donated asset. (2) Your charity gets the appreciated asset value. (3) You can deduct the full fair market value as a charitable donation on your tax return.
