Donate Stock or Securities 

Giving marketable securities including publicly traded stock, bonds, or mutual funds can be a tax advantaged way to make your generous gift to The Colonial. Appreciated securities, particularly those held longer than one year, may reduce or avoid capital gains obligations and allow you to take a full tax deduction for the fair market value of the stock at time of transfer resulting in a gift that could cost pennies on the dollar. Once the transfer is complete, The Colonial sells the stock and puts the proceeds to use supporting our work.

We encourage you to share your intentions with your tax or financial advisors to better understand the implications of such a gift on your individual tax situation.

Link Your Legacy to The Colonial Theatre

Our values, our interests, and our dreams are reflected in what we care about most — our families, our communities, and the organizations we love, such as The Colonial Theatre.

The Colonial’s Legacy Society, our planned giving program, was established with its first bequest in 2009. That unexpected and generous gift created a foundation to assure The Colonial’s long-term financial stability.

Now named the Huntington Legacy Society (in recognition of its initial donor), we encourage members, donors, and other supporters to include The Colonial Theatre in their estate planning. Your foresight and lasting support will allow The Colonial Theatre to continue serving our community for generations to come.

For more information on how to make a planned gift that benefits you, your loved ones, and The Colonial Theatre please call Brenna Nicely, Executive Director, at 603-869-5603 or email bnicely@bethlehemcolonial.org.

*The Friends of the Colonial is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
