Value of Goods and Services Received for Tax-Deduction Purposes

The Philadelphia Orchestra Association is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization and is required to provide a description and good-faith estimate of the value of benefits, goods, or services offered in exchange for charitable contributions.   

These benefits are considered substantial goods or services provided to donors in exchange for their support. The value of benefits consumed should be deducted from the total amount of your contribution if you are declaring it to the IRS for tax-deduction purposes.    

For example, you may receive invitations to our benefit events throughout your active membership period. Participation in donor events may affect the tax deductibility of your gift. 

Donors may elect to decline all benefits, in which case no goods or services will be offered in exchange for your contribution, and the full amount of your gift may be considered tax deductible to the extent provided by law.  Please note that if you prefer to decline donor event benefits, you will not receive certain event invitations. 

**Invitation for two to Meet the Artists events (donor level $1,500+): $60 per event/couple 

***Use of the Founders Lounge (donor level $3,500+): $32 per concert/couple or $16 per concert/individual
