June 21-22 and September 12-14. Call 1-800-657-1106 ext 213. The Producers Circle The Producers Circle recognizes patrons who have given $25,000 or more annually to The Shaw. This allows us to produce plays which form a compelling part of our repertoire because of their intellectual and artistic merit. This level of giving also allows us to tackle large-scale or technically demanding productions which might otherwise be too expensive to consider as part of our normal operations. For more information about becoming a member of the Producers Circle contact Jill Planche at 1-800-657-1106 ext 339 or jillplanche@shawfest.com Encourage Your Friends to Join! New Members are always welcome! Purchase a Gift Membership or encourage your friends to call the Membership Office at 1-800-657-1106 ext 556. Matching Gifts Make Even More of an Impact! Many corporations offer matching gift programmes for employees and retirees which will increase or even double your support and privileges. Contact your Human Resources department to see if your company participates in matching charitable donations. Gifts of Securities Make Sense! The 2006 Federal Budget in Canada eliminated capital gains tax for gifts of publicly traded stocks, bonds and mutual funds made to charitable organizations. This means that our Canadian and U.S. donors can make gifts of appreciated securities and gain a significant tax advantage. By donating securities you: > avoid capital gains tax > qualify for a tax-deduction based on the fair market value of stock > support the Shaw Festival For more information about making a gift of securities contact Jill Planche, Director, Resource Development at 1-800-657-1106 ext 339, or Jim Bratton, Director, Major Gifts, ext 226. Gift Memberships To purchase a Gift Membership, please call the Membership Office at 1-800-657-1106 ext 367. Bequests To find out how you can make a lasting impact on The Shaw’s future through a bequest or gift of insurance, contact Jill Planche at 1-800-657-1106 ext 339. 33
