Annual giving alone cannot provide sufficient resources for the Omaha Community Playhouse to meet the formidable challenges facing our theatre.

Increased endowment income is essential if the Playhouse is to have a “safety net” and the protections of a reliable source of income despite fluctuations in the economy or in the face of unforeseen events. With a solid endowment, the Playhouse can continue to flourish, maintain our beautiful facility and grounds, establish achievable fundraising goals and set competitive ticket prices to encourage growth in our audience.

If you are in position to do so, please consider making a current gift to the endowment in addition to your annual support. Or, you can make a future gift to the Playhouse endowment by including it in your financial and estate planning and joining the Encore Society.

Encore Society
This is a special group of forward-thinking donors who have designated an estate plan gift to benefit the Playhouse in the future. These generous gifts to our Foundation ensure our artistic progress for the benefit of generations to come. We have naming and donor recognition opportunities we would be happy to discuss with you. Please contact the Development Director at (402) 553-4890 ext. 127 for more information.

You should always consult your attorney for assistance in forming a plan of charitable giving that best suits your needs.
