Planned Giving

What is a Planned Gift?

Planned gifts are contributions arranged in the present to be allocated at a future date. These gifts are often part of a donor’s overall financial or estate planning and can include bequests, trusts, annuities, and other financial instruments. By including the Utah Shakespeare Festival in your long-term financial plans, you ensure that we can continue to bring the works of Shakespeare and other playwrights to life for generations to come.

Why Consider a Planned Gift?

Lasting Legacy: Your planned gift creates a lasting legacy that reflects your commitment to the arts and education. It ensures that your passion for theatre continues to inspire others.

Tax Benefits: Many planned gifts offer significant tax advantages, helping you to maximize the benefits to your estate and your heirs.

Flexibility: Planned gifts can be structured to meet your financial needs and philanthropic goals. Whether you choose to give a specific amount or a percentage of your estate, your gift will make a meaningful impact.

Sustained Support: By planning your gift today, you help secure the Festival’s future, allowing us to plan and innovate with confidence.

How to Make a Planned Gift

Bequests: Include the Utah Shakespeare Festival in your will or living trust. This is one of the simplest ways to make a lasting impact.

Beneficiary Designations: Name the Festival as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, life insurance policy, or financial accounts.

Charitable Remainder Trusts: Establish a trust that provides income to you or your loved ones for a period, after which the remainder goes to the Festival.
