Create Your Own Approach To Philanthropy

Building a Legacy

Including the Warner Theatre as part of your estate planning will ensure that your love of the arts will be enjoyed by future generations, while allowing us to plan for the future with confidence.
A bequest can be made in any amount. Gifts of all sizes are critical to the Warner's future sustainability. The good news is that it costs you nothing today to include the Warner in your future charitable plans.

Ways to suport our future without affecting your financial situation today

• BEQUEST: Include the Warner in your will or trust with a charitable bequest. It is an easy and flexible way to extend your support for the Warner while retaining your assets throughout your lifetime. Just a few sentences in your will or trust is all that is needed, designating a bequest to the Warner for a written amount or percentage of your estate or property.
• LIFE INSURANCE: Designate the Warner as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy.
• RETIREMENT PLAN ASSETS: Designate the Warner as the beneficiary for a percentage of your retirement plan and you may save your loved ones from a significant tax burden.
• SECURITIES: Stocks, bonds or mutual funds may be donated and may aid your loved ones in avoiding paying capital gains tax on appreciation.
• PROPERTY: Donate a valuable collection or item such as a work of art, jewelry or real estate.

Please be sure to let us know if you have already included the Warner Theatre in your charitable plans so we may thank you, welcome you into the Warner Theatre Landmark Society and make sure your gift is used as you intended.
