Meet Our Donors

Gerson Nordlinger

"When I set up the Charitable Remainder Trust, not only did I receive an immediate tax deduction, but I gained a sense of accomplishment and the personal satisfaction of knowing that I am taking care of something I love." Mr. Nordlinger wants to ensure that future generations will enjoy the NSO as he does. His lifelong love of music has inspired him to give generously of both his time and money for many years. He established the Gerson Nordlinger Debut Artists Fund through an irrevocable bequest to the NSO via a Charitable Remainder Unitrust - a generous gift that is already being used each year to underwrite a debut performance with the NSO. Having met some of his closest friends while volunteering on boards or committees, he encourages everyone to become actively involved in causes that are meaningful to them. The longest serving member of the board of the NSO, he believes "you get back so much when you give."
