Make Your Donation Tax Advantaged or Tax Deductible

Historically, donations to charities and the arts were tax deductible when itemized. Changes in tax law have limited itemized tax deductions yet there are still ways to make tax advantaged donations:

• IRA Distributions
  A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a distribution made directly by the trustee of your individual retirement account (IRA) to qualified organizations. You must have been at least age 70½ when the distribution was made. Your total QCDs for the year can’t be more than $100,000.  A QCD is a nontaxable IRA distribution, but you can’t also claim a charitable contribution deduction on your income tax return.
• Donor Advised Fund or Charitable Trust
  Many people have established a “Donor Advised Fund” or “Charitable Trust” to fund annual donations several years in advance.  Amounts deposited in the fund above the standard deduction are deductible in the year deposited.  Interim earnings in the account are also tax-free.

To make a donation from your IRA, or through a Donor Advised Fund or Charitable Trust contact your financial institution. They should send checks to:

Fort Worth Classic Guitar Society
P.O. Box 821954
Fort Worth, TX 76182-1954

How Allegro Manages Seat Assignments for Subscribers

Allegro subscribers receive season seat assignments for concerts with assigned seating such as at the Kimbell Renzo Pavilion. Subscriber seats are available in zones that sell at a premium price for single concert ticket sales.

Members who renew their subscription by the pre-sales cut-off date, usually June 30, will be assured of receiving the same seat location they had the previous year, within a seat or two.

Donors at the Patron Level and above who would like to change their seat location may communicate their desires at any time and their request will be placed on a wait list. In the following season Allegro will make accommodations where possible.
