Why Joining The Meany Society Matters
From Haydn to Mozart to Beethoven to the Beatles, each generation owes its progress to the ones that came before.
Established in 1980, Meany Center has been around long enough that many of our current audiences and donors remember coming to this theater with their parents and grandparents—and are now bringing children and grandchildren of their own.
Sharing your love of the arts with future generations is a family tradition worth hanging onto. Through planned giving, you can help ensure Meany Center continues to serve our community for the next forty-five years and beyond. A planned gift provides security for Meany’s future, and may offer significant tax benefits to you and your heirs beyond those of an ordinary cash donation.
Why should you join the The Meany Society?
- To ensure that your gift will be used in the way you intend (we can develop a personal endowed fund agreement, which describes your intentions and motivations for making the gift, along with spending parameters).
- To show the impact you will have and the value you will create for the dancers, musicians, audiences, family, youth and community.
- To provide the recognition you deserve as a Meany Society member.
- To inspire others by the power of your example.
Consider a gift to Meany Center through your will, trust or retirement plan, and pass on your passion for live performing arts to generations of artists and arts lovers still to come.
