Individual Donations
Cash Gifts
Your tax-deductible unrestricted donations, large and small, make it possible for Opera Naples to continue its mission, its many artistic and educational programs and ongoing improvements to the Wang Opera Center. We couldn’t do it without you!
Recurring Gifts
Opera Naples now offers recurring gifts. Giving has never been easier! Make your gifts to Opera Naples quarterly, monthly, or as often as you’d like. Your donation will be automatically deducted from a bank account or charged to your credit card. Simply select how often you would like to make your gift and let our system do the rest.
Legacies
Create a legacy through a bequest and solidify the future of opera in Southwest Florida. Wording of the legacy in a Will can be very simple and can include gifts of property. In addition, legacy giving can create tax benefits for your loved ones.
Pledges
Receive donor benefits right away based on the pledge of a gift.
Outright Gift of Publicly-Traded Securities
When you donate shares of stock that you have held for more than 12 months (or inherited), you get a deduction for the value of the gift. You do not pay income tax on the increase in value between the time you bought the stock and the time of the gift. Thus, it’s better to give away stock (that has increased in value) than to sell the stock and give away the proceeds.
Honor a Loved One
Nothing says that you appreciate the difference an individual has made to you or the community like honoring them through a donation. Make a donation in their name or memory and still receive 100% of the tax benefits!
Matching Gifts
Did you know that you may be able to double your donation to the Opera? Many companies and foundations match employee and retiree donations to non-profit organizations such as Opera Naples! Check with your company or foundation to see if it’s possible that your gift can go twice as far!
