GIVING AND IMPACT

Did you know that we subsidize the fair market value of our tickets to the amount of $46,000 a year?

For most theatres, tickets prices amount to almost 50% of an organizations operating costs. Time’s Fool Company likes to do things a bit differently. We don’t believe that ticket costs should prevent anyone from attending professional theatre.

You can help be a part of making theatre possible for all.

There are many ways to give and make a difference:

  • Make a one-time gift.

  • Sustain your support through a monthly gift.

  • Arrange to make a gift through your DAF (Donor Advised Fund).

  • Make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA that can satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) and lower your taxable income.

  • Leave a legacy by including Time’s Fool Company in your estate plans.

Your gift makes access to theatre possible for everyone in our community—today and for the future.

WAYS TO GIVE

DONOR ADVISED FUNDS

GIVE. GROW. GRANT. Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are a great way to receive a tax break, watch that tax break grow, then make a gift to the non-profit of your choice to have a lasting impact. If you are not sure how to set one up, or how to make a gift we would be happy to sit down with you and discuss your options.

You can make the choice to work with a national bank like Fidelity or keep it local with such organizations like the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, Community Foundation of Greater New Britain, or the Main Street Community Foundation in Bristol. Just be sure to name us as the benefactor of your fund, as Wethersfield is outside the service area of some of the organizations.

QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTIONS (QCDS)

QCDs and RMDs, what do these things mean? It’s more than just abbreviations and word salad. Did you know that when you have to take your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your retirement accounts, you can turn that into a gift to your favorite organizations? You’ll comply with the rules covering retirement accounts, you get a tax deduction, and you get to make the world a better place.

PLANNED GIVING

Have you made a will yet? We can all plan for the future together!

Bequests are one of the most impactful ways to make a difference. If you haven’t made a will yet, there’s no better time than right now. We can easily direct you to any one of the local estate lawyers in our service area. You can even make a will online with Freewill.com.

If you would like to speak with someone about how to make bequests, we would be happy to point you in the right direction.

And while we’d love to know your intentions so we can thank you, you are not required to disclose the amount of your estate gift.

Please to reach out to Mandy Broulik, Executive Director, at info@timesfool.org, or Wesley Broulik at timesfooltheatre@gmail.com to learn about ways to give or to have a conversations with us about the best option for you.
