Ways to Give

 
 

Behind every dramatic death scene, questionable love triangle, and perfectly timed high C is a community of supporters making it happen. Help us keep the music going with a quick online gift today, or read below for more ways to give. 

 
 

Gifts of Stock

To initiate a stock transfer, please contact Daniel Grambow, Director of Development & Advocacy, at 414-207-6505.

Direct from IRA

An increasingly popular option allows individuals who are at least 72 ½ years old to donate up to $100,000 annually to charitable organizations, directly from their IRA, without treating the distribution as taxable income.

To qualify, the gift must come directly from your IRA administrator. 

Simply ask your plan administrator to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution to The Florentine Opera, and they will send a check to us on your behalf. If your administrator needs our tax-exempt information, the Florentine Opera is a 501c3 Charitable Organization, and our EIN is 39-1098132.

It’s always a good idea to consult your advisor, but we’re happy to answer any questions. Contact Megan Newbanks, Annual Giving Manager, at 414-208-0833.
