Each gift is received and recognized with a category of honour within the season it is received (July through June). If the donation occurs late in the season and cannot be recognized, recognition will be moved into the upcoming season. All donations of $25 or more receive a charitable tax receipt for the maximum amount allowable under Canada Revenue Agency guidelines. Donations can be made three different ways.

1) E-transfer to info@thepso.org (indicate name and mailing address in message section)

2) Send a cheque to P.O. Box 1135 Peterborough, Ontario K9J 7H4

3) Through Canada Helps - use the Click to Donate button below.

Donating a gift of securities to the PSO provides significant tax advantages:

A tax receipt for the fair market value of the donation in the amount of the closing trading price on the day the PSO receives the security.

Your donation is exempt from the capital gains tax that typically applies to the sale of a security.

We have a brokerage account and can work directly with your broker to take advantage of the tax benefits of donating securities. Please call the PSO office at 705-742-1992 or send an email to info@thepso.org for more information.

Be a part of the Encore Society by remembering the PSO in your will. A bequest to the PSO is a living legacy that will endure in perpetuity supporting and inspiring talented musicians for generations to come.

Your planned gift can be made in a number of ways and can be fine-tuned to meet your needs as an individual. Call the PSO office at 705-742-1992 or send an email to info@thepso.org for more information or to let us know you’ve included the PSO in your will.

There is a lot of activity behind the scenes, from rehearsals to the bustle of our main office on King Street. Equipment and office supplies are welcome, from music stand lights to shelving to items for raffle.
