Many companies support their employees and local non-profits through matching gifts programs. Some companies provide this benefit for both current employees and retirees. Please check with your human resources representative. Complete a matching gift form with your company and your contribution will have double the impact! 

Donor-Advised Funds allow donors to make a gift of cash, stock or other long-term appreciated assets to a community foundation or financial institution that sponsors a donor-advised fund program, be eligible for an immediate tax deduction, and can then recommend grants over time to any IRS-qualified public charity.*

*Per IRS regulations, distributions from Donor Advised Funds cannot be used to provide donors with benefits with fair market value, such as parking passes and donor tickets. The organization that sponsors your Donor Advised Fund will provide your receipt for tax purposes if applicable. We are pleased to invite you to enjoy a range of perks as outlined in our Annual Fund Membership Benefits sheet. Please note, donors who recommend gifts to ZACH via a DAF must pay for their annual parking pass by contacting ZACH’s Marketing Team at amintz@zachtheatre.org.

Donating to ZACH directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is both convenient and a tax-wise way to support. If you are 70½ years of age or older you can transfer directly from your IRA to ZACH without realizing any taxable income. For those age 72 and older, this charitable transfer can also satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). It is essential that this transfer be made directly from the IRA to ZACH to count as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). Please consult your IRA custodian and tax advisor for information on making a distribution and its impact on your unique situation.

Please reach out to our Director of Development, Cathleen Berdan, at cberdan@zachtheatre.org for additional information or to chat more about the different options for including ZACH Theatre in your will or estate plan.

Simplify your life by choosing an amount that works for you each month and know that your recurring gift will create a reliable source of ongoing funding for the theatre. Learn more on our Monthly Giving page.
