ESTABLISH A LASTING LEGACY AT OAKLAND BALLET

• Gifting Appreciated Securities
  Whether for a general contribution or to support a specific program, you can donate your appreciated security (stock, mutual fund, etc.) for this purpose.
• Gifting Proceeds From An Inheritance/The Sale Of An Asset
  Many people choose to make an additional gift to Oakland Ballet when they receive an inheritance or at the time of the sale of a home or business. These one-time gifts make a huge impact on our annual operations and can be designated toward general support, a specific project, or an endowment.
• Making A Bequest
  In as little as one sentence, you can leave money to Oakland Ballet in your will or living trust.* This type of legacy gift supports OBC for years to come. If you have already made a provision for OBC in your estate plan, please let us know so that we may properly thank and recognize you. Even if you prefer not to be recognized, knowing about your gift helps us plan for the future and maximize the impact of your generosity.
• Designating Oakland Ballet As A Beneficiary
  You can also designate OBC as the beneficiary of your IRA or Retirement Plan, Life Insurance Policy, or Commercial Annuity. This gift lasts beyond your lifetime and helps sustain OBC for future generations.
• Gifting From Your IRA Through A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
  You can give to Oakland Ballet each year from your IRA or other eligible account that requires a minimum annual distribution without having to pay income tax on the donation. This type of gift is commonly called an IRA charitable rollover or qualified charitable distribution (QCD).*
