The Hot Springs/ Hot Springs Village Symphony Guild- Welcome

Donate
Your tax deductible gift to the Guild will help support our Arkansas Symphony Orchestra and the Guild's educational mission which is to promote music education in the schools and to help students master their craft.
We raise funds through our dues and special events to create opportunities for children in the greater Hot Springs area to have music in their lives. While achievement is important, we feel that all children should feel the joy of hearing live music and learning to sing or play an instrument. Joy sparks the imagination and allows them to become more creative in all aspects of their lives.
We have several programs that address the need in different ways: Scholarships for future music educators as they enter college, the annual Children's Concert at the Bank of the Ozarks Arena in Hot Springs, scholarships for area students to summer music camps, grants for essential equipment to area schools, as well as supporting our Arts Partners program "Orchestra and You".
There are several ways to make a donation to the Guild. If you are willing to donate online using a credit or debit card you may fill in the online form below. If you would rather not donate online, please click here for a printable donation form.
If you are 70-1/2 years old and have an IRA, you may make a direct transfer of up to $100,000 each year to qualified charities without treating the distribution as taxable income.

The process is simple, tell your financial advisor or IRA custodian that you would like to donate to the Guild. They will mail a check directly from your IRA to the Guild to qualify as a tax-free QCD. The information you will need to provide:
