Special Gifts

Saint Joseph Ballet gratefully accepts special gifts that will support its mission now and in the future.

The Saint Joseph Ballet Endowment

Gifts designated to the Saint Joseph Ballet Endowment help provide a stable and vital source of income.  While a gift’s principal remains intact, its annual earnings are used each year to help cover the cost of providing dance training, performing opportunities, academic and enrichment programs and family services to 400 at-risk youth.

Endowment gifts can be donations of cash, property, trusts or estate gifts. 

A gift received today – or pledged for the future – will work now and in the future on helping Saint Joseph Ballet fulfill its mission.

For more information on making a gift to the endowment, please contact Amy Larson, Director of Development at 714-541-8314 ext. 40.

Leave a Legacy

Including Saint Joseph Ballet as a beneficiary of your estate plan is one of the most flexible ways to make a far-reaching gift in support of Saint Joseph Ballet’s mission.  All deferred estate gifts (unless otherwise arranged) are added to the endowment when they are realized, so that they help provide a steady stream of income for future generations of low-income students and families.  Not only does your gift enable future Saint Joseph Ballet students to realize their dreams, but you may also achieve your personal financial goals.  There are several financial planning options through which you can support Saint Joseph Ballet:

·         Remember Saint Joseph Ballet in your will with a bequest of cash, securities, or real estate

·         Name Saint Joseph Ballet as a beneficiary of a charitable trust, annuity life insurance policy or IRA account

To discuss your interest in how to support Saint Joseph Ballet in your estate planning, please contact Amy Larson, Director of Development at 714-541-8314 ext. 40.

Paying for Your Gift with Stock

Gifting appreciated securities to Saint Joseph Ballet is another way to support any annual or endowment gift program and you may also receive the tax benefits.  Please contact Amy Larson, Director of Development at 714-541-8314 ext 40 for further information and complete account transfer instructions.
