Imagine a lasting impact on Telluride Theatre for generations to come. Planned giving offers you a powerful way to support the stories we tell and the community we serve beyond your lifetime. By including Telluride Theatre in your estate plans, you can create a legacy that ensures the magic of live performance continues to inspire and enrich our region. Curious to learn more about how you can make a difference through planned gifts? Let's explore the possibilities together.

There are several ways to include Telluride Theatre in your estate plans, including Bequests (Wills & Trusts), Charitable Gifts & Annuities, and Donor Advised Funds, which can be set up through organizations such as the Telluride Foundation. Different bequests come with different tax incentives. Consult a professional estate planner to determine what methods are right for you.

Sample Bequest Language: “I give, devise, and bequeath to [organization name], [amount or percentage of estate], to be used for [specific purpose].”

Some choose to keep their Planned Giving anonymous. Others may be interested in joining our Legacy Circle, whose future gifts will be celebrated with our community through recognition in our programs, on our website, and at special events such as The Gala.
