Planned Giving
MAKE A LASTING IMPACT
Please help us sustain the Theatre by arranging a planned gift. Your generosity will enable theatergoers to enjoy high caliber shows at Signature well into the future, and you will help us continue to offer in-depth education programs that directly benefit local students.
Options for making planned gifts include, but are not limited to, simple bequests in a will or trust or within an estate plan as well as non-cash assets such as real property. You can even include a provision naming Signature as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement plan.
Thank you for considering making such an important commitment to support Signature’s future. Please contact the Development Office at 571.527.1828 with any questions or to discuss further. More details can be found below:
ARRANGE A PLANNED GIFT
ARRANGE A PLANNED GIFT
The most common form of a planned gift is through a bequest—where you designate a portion or percentage of your will or living trust as a donation to a non-profit organization. To do so, simply name Signature as a beneficiary by providing the Theatre’s full legal name and Tax ID number along with the percentage or amount you’d like to donate.
You can also make Signature a beneficiary of your retirement plan or life insurance policy. Naming the Theatre as the beneficiary of a qualified retirement plan asset such as a 401(k), 403(b), IRA or profit-sharing pension plan will accomplish a charitable goal while realizing significant tax savings as the plan will pass to Signature free of both estate and income taxes; tax consequences may make it costly to pass such assets to heirs.
Making Signature a beneficiary of your retirement plan is both tax efficient and as easy as changing the beneficiary form with your IRA administrator and designating Signature Theatre as a primary, contingent or partial beneficiary.

You can make a bequest through your will, codicil, or trust. Here is an example of language to use:
