The Show Must Go On!
Your gift tomorrow will make an impact today!
There’s never been a better time to include The Actors Fund in your will or estate plans.
When you set up a legacy gift or increase your commitment, two longtime friends of The Fund will match 10% of your future gift (up to $25,000) with funds we can put to work today.*
How It Works
- You include The Actors Fund in your will or estate plans. Add a few sentences to your will or name The Actors Fund as a beneficiary on an insurance form.
- Activate the matching gift by filling out the online form or contact Jay Haddad at 917.281.5928 or jhaddad@actorsfund.org. You can also download the form and fill it out.
- The Actors Fund will send you a certificate acknowledging your generosity and participation in the Bequest Challenge!
SAMPLE BEQUEST LANGUAGE:
If you wish to name The Actors Fund in your will or estate plans, you may use this sample language:
“I give, devise and bequeath to The Actors’ Fund of America, federal tax ID number 13-1635251, 729 Seventh Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019 the sum of $____ (or describe the real or personal property portion of the estate) to be used for its general purposes.”
Five Reasons to Include The Actors Fund in Your Will:
1. You’ll leave a lasting legacy by enabling The Actors Fund to continue providing
a safety net for performing arts and entertainment professionals.
2. You’ll make a gift without using cash.
3. You’ll make a gift that costs nothing during your lifetime.
4. You’ll help your heirs by eliminating or reducing estate and capital gains taxes.
5. You’ll be welcomed into our special Edwin Forrest Society
*Gifts will be matched until the full $300,000 total matching gift offer is met.
