Donate through planned giving

We have all the information you need in the next section on how to donate to Stage Crafters through bequests, insurance, IRAs, and estate planning. Thank you for making your mark.

Please see below for more information and speak with your attorney on your planned gift. We appreciate your support and the mark you make on our theatre.

Legacy Giving Information

Legacy giving is also commonly referred to as planned giving as donors often plan these gifts years before they are distributed to the designated parties. For many donors, legacy giving will consist of monetary donations, but some donors will give real estate or choose to set up a charitable annuity or trust rather than make a direct donation.

Types of Legacy Giving:

Bequests. Bequests are the most popular and simplest type of legacy giving. In wills, donors will name what they want to give toStage Crafters, whether it’s a specific amount of funds, stocks, a piece of art, or even a percentage of the value of their estate.
Life insurance. When taking out a life insurance policy, donors can name Stage Crafters as one of its beneficiaries. Donors who currently have life insurance policies they don’t need anymore can also participate in legacy giving by donating their policy’s accumulated value to Stage Crafters.
IRAs. Some donors may be interested in joining a tax-deferred retirement plan. They can use this as a method to participate in our legacy giving program by either naming Stage Crafters a beneficiary or as a recipient of the percentage of the proceeds.
Retained life estates. Instead of making a monetary donation, donors can give Stage Crafters a piece of property they own, while still retaining the right to use it during their lifetime. After the donor passes, Stage Crafters takes ownership of the property.

Legacy giving can benefit both Stage Crafters and donors. Donors who choose to participate in legacy giving can experience positives, such as the ability to cement their legacy and have tax benefits. While the specifics of each gift and how it is distributed will vary, these gifts can have the potential to supply Stage Crafters with meaningful funds for years to come and honor the legacy of the donor who made the contribution. Please speak with your attorney and thank you for considering Stage Crafters as part of your legacy.

How donations help Stage Crafters

There are so many elements to running and maintaining a theatre, while throwing dramatic
performances along the way! Here are just a few areas where your donations help.

Costumes

From time period pieces to extravagant fantasy worlds, our costumes have wide ranges of material and accessory needs.

Set Materials

Cities, forests, parlors, and classrooms are just a few of the many settings we build to bring our shows to life...and there's props!

Maintenance

Utilities, taxes, fees, and filling the water cooler for our hardworking cast and crew are some of our everyday theatre needs.
