Why Make a Gift
As a not-for-profit theater, roughly 60% of our income is from individuals, corporations, foundations, and government to produce world class theatre in New Jersey, provide highly acclaimed arts education programming to hundreds students each year, and make theatre accessible to everyone in our community. We gratefully acknowledge our generous donors and invite you to make a donation today.

Matching Gift Program
Double (or Even Triple!) Your Impact. Many employers will match your charitable contribution, at no extra cost to you. That means your generosity goes twice as far in supporting the theatre you love. George Street Playhouse will credit the amount of your matching gift toward your total annual giving and include you in the higher benefit level. See if your employer will match your donation by clicking the button above.
Planned Giving
To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.
Have you already included a gift to George Street Playhouse in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.
Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.
Non-cash Gifts
If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the link above to notify George Street Playhouse of your gift.
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used and notifies George Street Playhouse of your intentions. Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.
We now accept donations of Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies! This gives us one more way to fund our work and can provide you with extra tax benefits.
