YOUR PASSION, THEIR PEACE. YOUR LEGACY, THEIR HARMONY
LEAVE A LEGACY OF HEALING:
MAJOR GIFTS & PLANNED GIVING
At Harmony & Healing, we bring the profound, personal gift of live music to patients in their most difficult hours. While every donation helps us share this gift, transformational gifts from our most passionate supporters allow us to build a sustainable future, expand our reach, and ensure that the healing power of music will reverberate for generations to come.
“I started Harmony & Healing because I’ve seen firsthand how live music can cut through the noise of a hospital room and create a moment of pure, human connection. It has a profound impact.
Our daily work is funded by the incredible generosity of our community. But our future, our ability to say “yes” to every hospital, to train every musician, to be there for every patient who needs us, is secured by those who choose to make Harmony & Healing a part of their philanthropy.
A major gift or a planned gift isn’t just a donation; it’s a statement. It’s a belief in the power of music to heal, a commitment to compassion, and a promise that this vital work will continue. When you make a transformational gift, you become a partner in our symphony of healing.
Thank you for considering this profound way of giving.”

Ways to Leave Your Legacy
Planned giving is a powerful way to make a significant future impact without necessarily affecting your current assets.
These gifts ensure that your passion for music and healing will continue for decades.
The Most Common Ways to Give
A Gift in Your Will or Trust (Bequest)
A simple, flexible, and versatile way to make a gift. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate to Harmony & Healing. This costs you nothing today.
Gifts of Stock & Appreciated Securities
Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds is a popular and tax-efficient way to give. You can avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the asset.
IRA Charitable Rollover (Qualified Charitable Distribution)
If you are 70½ or older, you can make a gift directly from your IRA to Harmony & Healing. This distribution is not reported as taxable income and qualifies for your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
Donor-Advised Funds (DAF)
You can recommend a grant to Harmony & Healing directly from your donor-advised fund. It’s a simple and effective way to support our mission using funds you’ve already designated for charity.
Beneficiary Designations
