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. The Theatre's EIN/Tax ID is #62-1417785. 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

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 (#62-1417785 also known as an EIN) 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:
