Ways to Support IndieSpace

Some donors may prefer to make a commitment to IndieSpace with a pledge of $10,000 or more, payable over time. We are available to discuss your gift, impact, and pledge terms anytime. Please contact Randi Berry, Executive Director, at randi@indiespace.org

Donors have made gifts to honor or remember friends, family, and colleagues. IndieSpace can set up a giving page for you to ask others to join you in remembering people who made a difference to you.

Planned gifts enable supporters to make meaningful and substantial contributions to IndieSpace in ways that complement their tax, financial, and estate plans. In planned giving, benefits to the donor may be immediate, while the actual transfer of assets may be deferred.

Examples of planned gifts include:

- Bequests
- Life insurance policies
- Retirement plan assets
- Charitable gift annuities
- Charitable remainder trusts
- Charitable lead trusts

Planned gifts are frequently arranged in consultation with a donor’s estate or financial planners. We are happy to talk with you and your advisors.

Bequests

The easiest way to make a bequest to IndieSpace is through your will or living trust. You can list a specific dollar amount, a particular asset, such as securities or real estate, or leave a percentage of your estate, or the residual of your estate, after providing for loved ones.

To discuss including IndieSpace in your will or living trust, please contact Randi Berry, Executive Director, at randi@indiespace.org

Donating stock or securities is a great way to support IndieSpace and our Indie Theater Fund while receiving potential tax benefits. Gifts of publicly traded securities that have appreciated in value allow you to claim a charitable deduction on the full market value with no capital gains tax on the appreciation, provided you have owned them for at least one year.

Please alert us in advance by providing the stock name, symbol, and the number of shares you plan to donate, so that we can ensure that you receive a tax receipt and acknowledgment.

For stock gift instructions or to discuss your options, please contact Randi Berry, Executive Director, at randi@indiespace.org.

Many employers have matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees.

If your employer supports a matching gift program, you may be able to double – or even triple – the impact of your gift to IndieSpace.

Information about matching gifts is generally available from your employer’s Human Resources department. Most employers will require you to submit a form and a copy of your gift receipt in order to make their matching contribution on your behalf.

If you have any questions, please contact Randi Berry, Executive Director, at randi@indiespace.org.
