LA Opera memberships become effective immediately and last twelve months, starting from the month in which you make your first donation. So if you make a gift in June, your membership will expire on May 31 of the next year.
The renewal period for LA Opera memberships is within three months of your expiration date. You can always renew early—just make sure to add a note with your gift. You can also make an additional gift to upgrade your membership at any time, and you’ll get the benefits of your new membership level until your initial expiration date.
If your membership doesn’t look quite right, just give us a call or email and we'll be happy help. Contact us at 213.972.7277 or friends@laopera.org.
You can upgrade your membership anytime by making an additional gift. You’ll enjoy the benefits of your new membership level until your current membership's expiration date.
Any donation under the amount of $2,000 is fully tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. (For gifts of $2,000 or more, the fair market value of certain benefits received may reduce the tax-deductibility of your contribution. A printed receipt with more details will be mailed to you.) To claim a donation as a deduction on your U.S. taxes, please keep your donation receipt as your official record.
