Individual Giving

Supporting the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra through individual giving helps sustain everything we do—from world-class concerts to education programs that inspire the next generation.

Your gift, no matter the size, directly supports our mission to serve and connect the people of East Tennessee through music. There are many ways to give, and we’re here to help you find the method that’s right for you.

Ways to Give

• Gifts of Securities and Stock: Donating appreciated securities, such as stocks or mutual funds, can be a tax-efficient way to support the KSO.
• Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs): You can recommend a grant from your donor-advised fund to support the KSO and help ensure the future of symphonic music in our region.
• Matching Gifts: Many employers will match your charitable contributions, increasing the impact of your support.
• Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs): If you’re age 70½ or older, you can direct a gift from your IRA to the KSO as part of your required minimum distribution.

As a KSO donor, you become part of a vibrant community of supporters and music lovers. In appreciation of your generosity, we offer a variety of benefits and experiences – from parking passes to VIP invitations – designed to enhance your connection with the music and musicians you help bring to the stage.
