Become a Donor today

If you’d miss live theater, the time to show up is now. We’ve raised more than half of what we need for the year—and we’re still going. We still have about $50,000 to go reach a funding milestone on August 15.

Every gift makes a difference, and every donor is part of what keeps the Jungle fierce, fearless, and full of life.

Now more than ever is the time to invest in the voices that stir us, the stories that challenge us, and the stages that bring us together. Let’s lift up the playwrights, performers, technicians, and creators who make the magic happen, night after night.

Thank you!

PLANNED GIVING

Legacy gifts ensure a bright future for the Jungle, making it possible for generations to come to enjoy masterful acting, storytelling and production design. There are three ways to plan your gift. 

1. NAME THE JUNGLE THEATER IN YOUR WILL

How It Works:

  • Include a bequest to the Jungle Theater in your will, trust or estate plan.

  • Indicate a specific amount or a percentage of the balance remaining in your estate or trust.

Benefits:

  • Your assets remain in your control during your lifetime.

  • You can modify your gift to accommodate changing circumstances.

  • You can direct your gift to a particular purpose if you wish, or designate it to general operating expenses.

  • There are potential tax advantages; please check with your tax advisor.

 

2. DESIGNATE THE JUNGLE AS A BENEFICIARY IN YOUR RETIREMENT PLAN OR LIFE INSURANCE POLICY

How it works:

  • Name the Jungle Theater as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k) or life insurance plan.

  • Designate the Jungle to receive all or a portion of the balance of your plan through your plan administrator.

  • The balance in your plan passes to the Jungle after your death.

Benefits:

  • Continue to take regular lifetime withdrawals.

  • You maintain flexibility to change beneficiaries if your family's needs change during your lifetime.

  • There are potential tax advantages; check with your tax advisor.

 

3. INITIATE A GIFT OF STOCK OR APPRECIATE ASSETS

How It Works:

  • Transfer appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares you have owned for more than one year
    to the Jungle Theater.

  • The Jungle sells your securities and uses the proceeds for its programs.

Benefits:

  • You receive the immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the
    date of transfer, no matter what you originally paid for them.

  • You pay no capital gains tax on the transfer when the stock is sold.

  • Giving stock could be more beneficial to you than giving cash; consult your tax advisor.
