Donate

MONEY:
Cash, checks or money orders are never refused. Those who find it difficult to give one lump sum may be happy to know that donations of any size can be made on an intermittent basis. Donations can be sent monthly, quarterly or when ever you are so moved.

SEAT DEDICATION: 
A seat may be named in the honor of anyone you choose, including yourself! What a wonderful remembrance for a loved one! A brass plate with the person’s name will be affixed to the armrest. The name will be there forever for all patrons to see. The first five rows of seats are $2,000 each; all the rest of the seats are $1,000 each. The payment may be spread over a three-year period. This is a great gift and it is tax deductible, too!

FACILITY DEDICATIONS: 
You may dedicate another part of the Performing Arts Center in someone’s name with a larger gift. Things like the Control Room, the Porte Cochere, the Orchestra Pit, a Dressing Room and so on can all be dedicated in honor of someone. An appropriate engraved brass plaque will be affixed in or near the particular item you have chosen. The ultimate gift of $500,000 will give you the privilege of naming the facility.

RECOGNITION WALL: In the lobby, prominently located, is the beautifully designed “Friends of the Paradise Performing Arts Center” recognition wall. There on is inscribed for posterity the names of all persons who have made a gift of $5,000 or more. The lists of names not only include individuals, but the names of husbands and wives, families, memorials, and the names of organizations and businesses. Just think if you own a business or company, that name on the recognition wall will reflect your community minded spirit to everyone that walks in the front doors. It is like an advertisement that will go on forever. The price is tax deductible. Where else can you get a deal like that?

LIFE INSURANCE: 
Purchase a Life Insurance Policy and name the Performing Arts Center as the Beneficiary.

WILLS:

STOCKS, BONDS AND REAL PROPERTY:

CHARITABLE ESTATE PLANNING:

This method of gifting is best accomplished with the assistance of a professional estate planner. For more information plan to attend an Estate Planning Seminar.
