Pax Christi Chorale Investment Fund

In 2020, Pax Christi Chorale was the recipient of an outstanding major gift to the choir. This gift was used to create the Pax Christi Chorale Investment Fund. The development of an investment fund had been under board discussion for several years, predicated on the concern that stable funding for our annual operations is a continuing challenge. Through this generous initial gift, subsequent donations and prudent investment practices, the Investment Fund now stands at $150,000.

Income generated from the Investment Fund is transferred annually to Pax Christi Chorale’s operating budget, while ensuring that the principal remains intact. We are working hard to build a legacy for future generations.

How can you help us build that legacy?

Name Pax Christi Chorale a Beneficiary in your Will

Naming Pax Christi Chorale in your Will ensures that your wish to support the future of choral music through Pax Christi Chorale is honoured after you pass away. The gift can be a percentage of your estate, a specific dollar amount, or a residual amount.

Make a Gift of Securities

Donating publicly traded securities means you can obtain a tax receipt for the full market value, without paying any capital gains tax.

Make a one-time Extraordinary Individual Gift

Perhaps you would like to make an extraordinary gift to help secure the future of Pax Christi Chorale. An extraordinary gift is a one-time donation in an amount that is significant to the donor; for some donors an extraordinary gift might be in the amount of $1,000; for others it might be $10,000 or more. Some donors who give annually to operations have also made an extraordinary one-time gift to the Investment Fund. If you would like to explore a gift of this kind, please contact us.

BENEFITS

Your gift to the Pax Christi Chorale Investment Fund can create excellent tax advantages. We encourage you to choose the type of gift that best suits your needs and interests. Whatever you decide, your gift will be honoured by Pax Christi Chorale in many ways. We will invite you to special donor events throughout the year and include your name along with other Investment Fund members in concert programs and on this website (of course, you can also choose to remain anonymous).

“I am so glad to be able to contribute to the future of Pax Christi Chorale. The warmth, kindness and generosity of the people I have sung with for many years has enriched my life in so many ways, and made me want to give back. I believe Pax Christi Chorale is unique among Toronto choral organizations. We started out as a group of singers from the Mennonite tradition, and even though the organization now contains members of many faiths, or no faith at all, the choir’s original value of providing service to the broader community still resonates through all we do. Pax Christi Chorale provides training and performance opportunities for young singers and emerging choral professionals, in addition to a warm and welcoming community. I am pleased that my gift will provide meaningful experiences for choral music lovers for years to come.” - PCC Investment Fund donor
