Maybe you rode the Elitch Gardens carousel as a child, strolled the gardens on a summer evening, or saw a show beneath this historic roof. Maybe your parents or grandparents did. These memories are woven into the story of the Gardens, and they’re part of why this theatre still stands.
A legacy gift lets you honor your memories and make sure the next generation can make their own.
When history is this rare, it takes people like you to carry it forward.
Including the theatre in your estate plans is easier than many people expect, and it doesn’t affect your finances today.
Gift in Your Will (Bequest)
Name Historic Elitch Theatre in your will or living trust. You can leave a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or whatever remains after other gifts are made. You keep full control of your assets during your lifetime and can change your plans at any time.
Gift in Your Living Trust
If you have a revocable living trust, you can name the theatre as a beneficiary of all or part of it.
Retirement Account or IRA Beneficiary Designation
Naming the theatre as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement plan is one of the simplest and most tax-wise ways to give. It’s usually just a form from your plan administrator.
Life Insurance Policy
Name the theatre as full or partial beneficiary of a policy you no longer need, or donate a policy outright.
Every estate is different. We encourage you to consult your attorney or financial advisor, and we’re glad to work alongside them.
Your attorney can tailor this to your plans:
“I give, devise, and bequeath to Historic Elitch Theatre (EIN: 46-0492147), the sum of $____ of my estate for its general charitable purposes.”
A conversation with us carries no obligation. We’ll answer your questions, share how gifts have helped the theatre, and make sure your wishes are honored exactly as you intend.
