GIVE LATER
Help us ensure theatre thrives for generations to come by joining the Encore Society, our treasured group of donors who have made a long-term commitment to DCPA.
ENCORE SOCIETY
Taking care of tomorrow’s artists and audiences
Generations of families have enjoyed programs and productions at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Through a planned gift, members of the Encore Society are making sure that future generations can enjoy the same magical experience.
As you make long-term financial plans with your family, including your estate plans, please consider the DCPA. You will be making a lasting impression on future generations, who will be guaranteed the thrill of the theatre for years to come.
And when you include us in your estate plans, you will be inducted into our Encore Society of donors. Encore Society members receive recognition (if so desired) and are invited to be involved in our plans for each season as well as the long-term goals at a special event every year.
Ways to Give
Charitable Bequest
By including us in your Will or Living Trust, you create a gift today that DCPA will receive when your estate is settled. Several types of bequests are available:
- Percentage: As your estate appreciates, today’s bequest has greater impact in the future.
- Specific assets or amount: Determine an exact dollar amount or asset.
Retirement Plan
One of the tax-smartest planned gifts you can make involves your IRAs and retirement plans. You can name the DCPA as a beneficiary of all or portion of these accounts. To include the DCPA, simply request a “beneficiary change” form from your retirement plan custodian, complete the form and return it according to the instructions provided.
Charitable Remainder Trust
In the right situation, a charitable remainder trust can provide powerful financial, tax and estate planning benefits. You donate assets into the trust you create for the eventual benefit of the DCPA. In the interim, the trust pays income to you and/or your designated income beneficiaries. You receive tax benefits, too.
Charitable Lead Trust
A charitable lead trust can provide support for the DCPA for a period of time you determine. You donate assets into the trust you create. After the trust’s term is over, it transfers assets to your heirs with little or no estate or gift tax.
Retained Life Estate
Donate a personal residence or farm to us and retain the right to occupy it for the rest of your life. Receive tax benefits today.
Charitable Gift Annuity
Make a gift today and you (and another person, if desired) will receive fixed payments for life, which you can never outlive. The payments can begin now or at a later date that you choose. The rates are attractive and you will be eligible for tax benefits, too.
Life Insurance
You can name the DCPA as the beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy. This gives you the flexibility to change your mind at anytime in the future should your needs change. You also may name us as owner and beneficiary of a policy and be eligible for current tax benefits.
Revocable Gift
By naming DCPA in your will, living trust or as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, you can protect yourself against an uncertain future. Should you need these assets, they are available for you. If not, your gift will come to us after your lifetime.
