Donor Advised Funds
Ford’s Theatre accepts gifts made via donor advised funds (DAF).
Donor advised funds offer donors tax advantages at the time of the original DAF contribution. Because of this, gifts made to Ford’s Theatre from a donor advised fund are not eligible for member benefits that have a fair market value associated with them.
Please contact the organization holding your DAF for more information on making charitable contributions to Ford’s Theatre or if you have any questions about the tax deductibility of your gift.
Gifts via Stock
Gifts of appreciated securities, such as stocks and mutual funds, are excellent ways to support Ford’s Theatre.
To donate securities, please have your broker transfer the shares to our Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. account. We will need to know the name of the stock/fund, number of shares and expected transfer date.
