    Legacy GiftsGive the gift of music to tomorrow’s youth

    Your Legacy Gift to OrKidstra will help create a future where all children and youth have the opportunity to find their voice through music!  

    Make a Legacy Gift by remembering OrKidstra in your Will. Your thoughtful bequest will give future generations of children from equity-deserving Ottawa communities the opportunity to benefit from the many community skills inherent in music-making. In the hands of a child, a clarinet or violin becomes a remarkable instrument of change, growth, and empowerment. 

    Music has the power to change lives and your visionary gift will help ensure that tomorrow’s youth can reach for success through music! We’re happy to chat with you about options for your OrKidstra legacy gift, including endowment contributions.

    In Memoriam

    Designating OrKidstra as your charity of choice, and encouraging others to do the same, is a deeply thoughtful way to remember and be remembered.

    In Memoriam: Anne Taylor, 1945-2014 – “Because music creates community and is one of the most enduring gifts we can give to children.”

    In Memoriam: Peter Henry Dawson, 1937-2015 – “Because music education challenges the mind and nourishes the spirit; it opens the door to a better future.”

    Host a Party/EventParty with a Purpose

    If you have a special occasion coming up, like a birthday or anniversary, why not make it a giving-back bash? In lieu of presents, tell your guests you’d love it if they could make a donation to OrKidstra.

    The sky’s the limit for your benefit party (think tea party, bridal shower or backyard BBQ), but the event could be as simple as a one-time, casual dinner party with family and friends in the comfort of your own home.

    We’ve got lots of great ideas to get you partying with a purpose like a pro!
