Planned Giving
What is Planned Giving? The term 'Planned Giving' applies to charitable gifts that are carefully planned, and structured to provide the best possible scenario for both the donor, and recipient. Whether a donor uses cash or other assets, such as real estate, artwork, or partnership interests, planned gifts can provide valuable tax benefits and/or income for life. Planned gifts include:
Charitable Bequests: A bequest is anything you give, or leave to charity from your estate through a will or a living trust. You can arrange to bequeath a gift from your estate in several different ways including: setting aside a specific dollar amount, leaving a percentage of your estate, gifting something you own such as real estate, artwork, a car or jewelry, or by leaving a paid life insurance policy or other financial investments, such as stocks, bonds or CDs.
Charitable Remainder Trusts: These trusts allow you, and/or other designated beneficiaries, to receive income from a trust for your lifetime, or for a period of years not to exceed 20.
Charitable Lead Trusts: Allow you to designate a charity to receive a regular, fixed amount from a trust for a specified time period or the lifetime of a designated person.
Gift Annuities: Allow you to contribute funds or assets to a nonprofit organization, and that nonprofit in turn makes fixed annuity payments to you from its general assets for the rest of your life.
We invite you to become a member of the Barre Opera House Family. It is only through visionary gifts such as yours that we are able to achieve our goals. Please consider helping us as we strive to fulfill our organizational mission, namely: to sustain operations, strengthen our community, and build a strong cultural legacy for future generations.

We wouldn't be here without your ongoing generosity - Thank you!
