THANK YOU for helping us to continue providing a pathway to musical excellence for musicians and music lovers of all ages!
 

HOW CAN I DIRECT MY SUPPORT?

Unrestricted gifts are especially welcome, as they enable WMC to use your support where it is most needed.  But you may also support a specific program or activity near and dear to your heart. The donation form lists options for designating your gift.  You may choose to support one or several programs.  And you may designate your donation in honor of, or in memory of, a special person, which will be acknowledged in our yearbook. 

WAYS TO GIVE:

OR
Mail a check to Treasurer, Wednesday Music Club, 1213 Hazel Street, Charlottesville 22902
  • Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).  If you are age 70  ½ or older, you can make tax-free gifts from a traditional IRA.  If you are subject to annual RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions), a QCD can satisfy some or all of your RMD obligation up to the annual QCD limit.  
  • Donate appreciated securities.  Donating long-term appreciated securities can avoid capital gains tax and provide an income tax deduction for the full fair market value (up to 30% of AGI, with a five-year carryforward).  
  • Create a Named Fund to generate long term support for a WMC program.  For additional information, please contact WMC at the following address  info@wednesdaymusicclub.org.
  • Leave a lasting legacy – include WMC in your will or living trust.  You can also name Wednesday Music Club as the beneficiary or co-beneficiary of an IRA or life insurance policy. 
Please work with your financial advisor to learn more about the specific benefits and the process associated with each of these  giving options.  If you are comfortable notifying us that you have made a planned gift to WMC, we would be pleased to recognize your gift now in our monthly newsletter to members and in our annual Yearbook.
Wednesday Music Club is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.  EIN # 54-1137611.
