Planned Giving

Mad Cow Theatre is sustained by a unique mix of earned revenue and contributions from its patrons. We simply could not exist without the generosity of its donors. Whether to the Annual Fund or through participation in one of our annual fundraising events, the support from our donors is essential to the mission of Mad Cow Theater: exploring the human condition. Legacy gifts can go even further to ensure the steadfast pursuit of this mission. And a legacy gift is easier to make than you might think. If you have a will or estate plan, please consider including Mad Cow Theatre as a beneficiary.

There are a variety of easy vehicles for making a legacy gift, including a bequest through your will, a gift annuity or charitable remainder trust, a gift of life insurance, a gift of trust income, a gift through your retirement plan or a gift of stock.
