Any donations are welcome!
You don’t have to write a check today to make a lasting impact. Planned giving allows you to support Centre Stage through your estate, retirement accounts, or investment portfolio — often with significant tax advantages. Here are four ways to give:
1. Bequests — Include Centre Stage in your will or trust with a fixed amount, a specific asset, or a percentage of your estate. Gifts can be unrestricted or designated to a specific purpose.
2. Beneficiary Designations — Name Centre Stage as a full, partial, or contingent beneficiary on your IRA, retirement account, or life insurance policy. It’s the simplest future gift you can make.
3. Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) — If you’re 70½ or older, you can give up to $105,000 annually directly from your IRA. The gift counts toward your required minimum distribution and is excluded from taxable income.
4. Stocks & Mutual Funds — Donating appreciated shares lets you avoid capital gains tax and receive a deduction for the full current value. It’s one of the most tax-efficient ways to give.
