DONATE TO TWO RIVER
Support Two River Theater in our mission to develop and produce great American theater!
GIVE THROUGH A DONOR-ADVISED FUND
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a tax-advantaged charitable giving account that allows individuals, families, or businesses to support the nonprofits they care about. Contributions are made to the fund, and grants are then recommended to eligible nonprofit organizations.
By recommending a grant to Two River Theater through your DAF, you sustain our productions, education programs, and community engagement initiatives.
You can recommend your gift through our DAF portal:
Please note that, in accordance with IRS guidelines, DAF grants may not be used to receive benefits such as event tickets, memberships (including Backstage Pass benefits), or other goods and services.
To notify us of your DAF gift or for assistance, please contact Carmen Balentine at cbalentine@trtc.org.
GIVE THROUGH A QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION
If you’re 70.5 or older, you can make a tax-smart gift to Two River Theater directly from your IRA through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). Your QCD counts towards your required minimum distribution and potentially reduces your taxable income, while making inspiring theater, arts education, and community programs even more accessible.
MATCHING GIFTS
Make your donation go further! Did you know that many companies match their employees’ charitable donations? Employer matching gift programs are an easy way to increase your support of Two River at no additional cost to you, helping ensure that transformative theater continues to thrive in our community.
Reach out to your Human Resources department to find out if your employer offers a matching gift program.
