Ways to give

There are lots of ways to give. Scroll down to learn which ways are right for you!

STOCK, EQUITY, & BONDS

Gifts of stock, equities, and bonds provide benefits to San Francisco Playhouse and you. We can put your stock donations to immediate use and you can:

Give away appreciated assets and usually avoid a tax gain;
Receive the regular charitable income tax deduction if you itemize your taxes (consult your tax specialist for more information)

Stock Donation Instructions:

1. Please contact us at [email protected] or (415) 801-9550, and let us know the name of the stock, and the number of shares you are donating (example: “500 shares of IBM Stock”), and the broker that is handling the transaction for you so that we can be aware that the gift is forthcoming. Unfortunately, we are not provided any personal or contact information for individuals who transfer stock and without your notification, we will not be able to properly thank you for your generosity or provide you with a tax receipt.

2. Please let your broker know that our account is with Charles Schwab and stock can be transferred using the following information. It is very important that you also notify someone at the Playhouse of your generous donation so we know who gave us the stock.

This is what your broker will need:

IN-KIND GIVING

It takes a lot to produce live theatre. When you give in-kind, your contribution goes directly where it’s needed the most. In the spirit of giving, here’s what we need today:

Costco, Amazon, and Office Depot Gift Cards
A Video-Capable Digital Camera, or Camcorder for Rising Stars and Guest Artists
Laminator (12-inch or wider) for Everyday Use
Champagne or Red/White Wine
Small Refrigerator for our Actors
Ergonomic Office Chairs for Administrative Staff
Locking Filing Cabinets for Office Safety
Airline Miles for Artist Travel
Housing for Visiting Playwrights, Directors, and Actors

You may be able to find savings on some of these items through Capital One Shopping, who offers a free tool to help shoppers find discounts on purchases.
If you’d like to donate something In-Kind that can’t find on this list, get in touch and see if we have the room!
