Legacy Giving

At the Oregon Shakespeare Festive we believe that the future is shaped by those who care enough to create it. By including OSF in your estate plans, you can play a vital role in supporting the transformative power of theatre. You have the opportunity to ensure that our mission continues to thrive and positively impact lives for generations to come.

Legacy giving, also known as planned giving, allows you to make a significant contribution to OSF through your estate or financial planning. Whether it's a bequest in your will, a charitable trust, or a gift of real estate or securities, your thoughtful planning today can leave an enduring mark on tomorrow.

Your legacy gift helps us:

• Sustain Our Mission: Ensure that our programs and services continue to make a difference for years to come.
• Expand Our Reach: Enable us to touch more lives and grow our impact in the community.
• Honor Your Values: Leave a lasting tribute to the causes that matter most to you.

• Bequests: You can designate a specific amount or percentage of your estate to OSF in your will.
• Charitable Gift Annuities: Receive fixed payments for life, while also making a future gift to OSF.
• Charitable Remainder Trusts: Make a gift that provides income to you or your loved ones, with the remainder benefiting OSF in the future.
• IRA and Retirement Account Beneficiaries: Designate OSF as the beneficiary of your retirement accounts.
• Gifts of Stock or Property: Contribute appreciated assets that may offer both tax benefits and a lasting impact.

Planning a legacy gift is a meaningful decision that requires careful consideration. Our team is here to guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.
