ENDOWMENT

Become a partner in our legacy

Help keep Diablo Ballet on its toes for generations to come!

Every dancer needs a partner. Become a partner in the legacy of Diablo Ballet. Since 1994 Diablo Ballet has presented world-class dance, classical works, and exciting world premieres. You can help continue our success by joining our Curtain Call Endowment Fund and bestowing your passion for dance to future generations.

Through a charitable bequest, you can ensure that Diablo Ballet will continue to present acclaimed classical and contemporary ballets and stay committed to exposing youth to the arts through its renowned PEEK Outreach Program. Arranged relatively simply, estate planned gifts not only benefit Diablo Ballet, but can also benefit you through significant and immediate tax savings.

Your gift will allows us to continue developing new ground-breaking dance works, nurture new up-coming artists, and create  unforgettable dance mementos that inspire, educate, and enhance lives.  Here’s how to keep Diablo Ballet on their toes…

  • Charitable Bequest: Add a bequest for Diablo Ballet to your estate plan for a specific amount, a specific property, or a percentage of the estate.
  • Insurance Policies: Designate Diablo Ballet Endowment Fund to receive all or part of the proceeds of a life insurance policy.
  • Retirement Plans: Designate Diablo Ballet to receive part of your retirement plan after your death. Such transfers can be very tax-efficient for your heirs as well as Diablo Ballet
  • Charitable Trust: Designating a trustee for specific assets may provide estate tax savings and supplemental annual income for you and Diablo Ballet.

Diablo Ballet offers professional assistance from the community and our Board of Directors to help you determine the various planned giving options, which are best for you.
