2024 Year-End Donation Guide

End of Calendar Year Giving Guide

While the DSO welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center each year for its captivating performances, ticket sales alone do not provide the necessary resources to operate a world-class orchestra.

Make your gift in support of the inspiring performances you see on stage and throughout the North Texas community.

Thanks to a generous gift from our partners at Steinway Hall – Dallas, all new and increased support will be matched $1 for $1, up to $10,000.

FAQ

For more information on how to make your gift count toward your 2024 tax return, please see below.

A gift made with a check is deemed paid when the donor mails the check. If the donor mails the check and the envelope is postmarked by or on December 31, 2024, they may take the charitable deduction for the gift on their 2024 tax return. This is true even if the DSO does not receive and/or deposit the check until 2025.

Please mail any checks to 2301 Flora Street, Dallas, TX 75201 and make them payable to the Dallas Symphony Association.

A gift charged on a credit card is deductible in the year in which the charge is made (even if the charge appears on the donor’s credit card statement in the following year).

Please note, if a donor mails in credit card information and it is received by the DSO in 2025, it cannot be back-dated, even if the envelope was postmarked in 2024.

The timing of the deductibility of a gift of stock depends upon when the donor has relinquished control over the stock. Therefore, the date of the gift is the date the stock is transferred to Charles Schwab on behalf of the DSO.

Because stock transfers can take multiple days to process, it is strongly recommended that these requests be made by the donor through their broker no later than Thursday, December 26. Please call 214.871.4042 to notify the DSO of any transfers.

Where a person contacts their bank to direct that a payment be made from their account, the IRS has ruled that the deduction may be taken in the year in which the bank makes the payment as reflected on the person’s monthly account statement.
