Green Music Center

ANNOUNCING a challenge match!

A generous Sonoma County family has gifted the Green Music Center a $2.5 million match. Every dollar you donate will be matched one-to-one by an anonymous donor until we reach $2.5 million. The result will be $5 million toward the construction.

DONATE ONLINE NOW by credit card (see button on right).

If your donation is toward naming INNOVATION HALL please indicate that in the "Add Your Comments Here" section of that form.

To donate with a check or securities, to arrange for a tour, or to ask questions please contact Sonoma State University Development at development.office@sonoma.edu or (707) 664-2712.

Monetary Gifts

Most people think of cash gifts first, but even cash includes several options. Instead of making a single payment, consider a multi-year pledge, which can increase your contribution (and tax benefits) by spreading payments over time.

You can multiply the impact of your gift if your employer offers a matching gift program. To find out if your company matches or multiplies employee gifts, contact your human resources office.

Securities

Stocks and bonds offer another attractive gift option. Gifts of appreciated securities not only can provide income tax deductions, but can help you save on capital gains taxes as well.

Real Estate

If you have real estate you are ready to sell, consider donating it to the Green Music Center Capital Campaign instead. In addition to supporting a worthy cause, gifts of real property provide an income tax charitable deduction and avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation in value.

Memorial Gifts

Honor the memory of a family member or friend by sharing the joy of music through a memorial gift to the Green Music Center.

Estate Planning

By including the Green Music Center in your estate planning, you could not only benefit your community, but reap substantial benefits for yourself and your heirs as well. Possible benefits include savings on capital gains taxes, increased income, and income tax savings.
