Oakland East Bay Symphony's Endowment Fund was established in February 2000, when Giles "Bud" Cropsey - a dedicated member of the OEBS Board of Directors for the past 14 years - donated the lead gift of $500,000.

The Endowment provides selective funding to the Symphony today, while seeking to grow assets to ensure the Symphony's future vitality.
  • Make a cash gift or donate appreciated securities. By using appreciated securities you benefit from deducting the full market value of securities at the time of the gift

  • Facilitate your individual and/or family financial goals by making a planned charitable gift to the Endowment. A benefactor can establish an income source while potentially realizing associated tax and estate preservation benefits.

  • Consider a Charitable Remainder Trust, which may enable a benefactor to make a gift of appreciated assets to OEBS, while avoiding capital gains taxes of sales of the assets. This and other wealth planning techniques can benefit both the Symphony and the donor.
