How You Can Help
[ Larry Meister Memorial Fund ]
[ Bequests ]

Your support, though subscriptions and donations, is the key to our success. Even with many sold-out performances, the cost of your ticket accounts for less than half of the cost of operation this season. We depend on your generous contribution to continue producing professional theater in our community.

The Rubicon Theatre Company is a non-profit organization and contributions are fully tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
The Rubicon's Federal Tax I.D. # is: 77-0495901.

We are grateful for our individual and corporate partners who recognize the benefits of professional theater in our community. In return, Rubicon Theatre ensures that these donations are spent to fulfill the theatre's mission. We thank all our donors for their gifts this year.

[ Larry Meister Memorial Fund ]

Bequests support the Rubicon's programs after your lifetime. They may be cash, securities, real estate, or other property. We are very grateful for your consideration. Your will can include:

  • a specific dollar gift
  • a set percentage of your estate
  • specific assets
  • the remaining assets after providing for heirs.

Bequests can be with no restrictions or for a single purpose.

Unrestricted gifts are easier for us, to move money quickly where it's most needed.

If you prefer your gift go to a particular use, please describe the use as broadly as possible. Give us a call before drafting this part of your will to assure the provisions can be implemented as you desire.

If your estate plan is in order and you'd like to let us know, click our Estate Intention Form.
