Contributions & Support
SUPPORT THE LASC
As a nonprofit organization, the Living Arts and Science Center relies on
generous contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations, and
public agencies to support our many educational programs. Gifts are
welcomed year-round, and are tax deductible as allowed by law.
YOU CAN SUPPORT THE LIVING ARTS AND SCIENCE CENTER BY:
v
Making an Individual
Donation.
As a Donor to the LASC, you help us launch new, important, groundbreaking
programs, support innovative educational endeavors, and sustain this
extraordinary learning facility.
v
Making a Matching Gift.
 Many companies match employees’ contributions to charity. Please check with
your human resources department to find out if your company has such a program
and if so, please include the appropriate matching gift form with your donation.
v
Making an Honorary Gift or Memorial.
There are many ways to honor and remember the events of your life and the lives
of those dear to you. Through an Honorary or Memorial Gift, you can ensure a
special remembrance while helping us to continue to make creative and unique
opportunities in the arts and sciences accessible to all.
v
Combining philanthropy with financial planning through
Planned Giving.
In addition to making outright gifts of cash or securities that benefit the LASC
today, supporters can respond to the need to help secure the financial future of
the LASC by making their planned gifts to LASC. There are many ways that you can
help the LASC and accomplish your philanthropic and financial goals while
providing for your loved ones. You may consider any of the following:
Make a bequest.
Instruct your attorney to include a charitable bequest for the LASC in your will
or living trust.
Donate life insurance policy
proceeds.
Perhaps you find that a life insurance policy once necessary for your family’s
security is no longer needed because your children are now independent and other
assets are providing adequate income and resources for their future. You can
name the LASC as the future beneficiary of the policy.
Create
a charitable remainder trust.
Name the LASC as the recipient of an irrevocable trust that can provide income
for you or a named beneficiary for a fixed period of years (often for the
lifetime of the individual). At the end of the term of the trust, the remaining
trust assets are distributed to the LASC. Cash, stock, or real estate can be
used to fund the trust. Trusts are highly flexible gift-planning tools that
have enabled donors to accomplish a variety of important personal financial
goals and ultimately provide an important gift to charity.
These are just some examples of how you may include the LASC in your
gift-planning efforts. Gifts of this nature should be carefully considered in
relation to your financial and estate plans and goals. We recommend that you
consult an attorney, financial advisor, or estate-planning expert in the
preparation of your will and to supervise its execution to comply with the
requirements of the state in which you reside.
