Planned Giving
Leave a Legacy
A gift in your will or estate plans can ensure that the programs you love at Arena are available for future generations. There are many creative ways to make a planned gift that ensure Arena’s future while providing benefits for you and your loved ones. The Full Circle Society allows us to celebrate planned giving donors throughout their lifetime with special opportunities including invitations to an annual appreciation event.
For more information or to notify us of an existing planned gift, please submit the form below or contact Maya Weil at 202-600-4158 or at mweil@arenastage.org.
