Discover the Benefits of Giving Wisely
For more than 135 years, The Grand Opera House has been a symbol of history, architecture, and culture, iconic for the life it breathes into Wilmington and the surrounding communities in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Many feel compelled to support The Grand and it is our pleasure to guide you through creative gift planning that anyone can afford, including many gifts that leave your current financial situation unchanged and help your loved ones. Our goal is to help you understand how these gifts work and how your generous spirit will help assure the vitality of the performing arts in Delaware for future generations.
Such giving techniques are called "planned gifts," because with thoughtful planning, you create win-win solutions for you and The Grand Opera House. For example:
- You can make a gift that costs nothing during your lifetime.
- You can give stock and realize larger tax savings.
- You can receive an annuity payment for life in return for your gift.
- You can donate your house, continue to live there, and get a tax break all at the same time.
