Ways to Give
You play a vital role! Our generous supporters are as essential to Long Wharf Theatre as the actors, directors and playwrights whose work you see onstage.
As a nonprofit organization, Long Wharf Theatre relies on individual, corporate, foundation, and government support to make our vision of theatre for everyone a reality.
Individual Giving
Checks can be made payable to Long Wharf Theatre and mailed to:
Long Wharf Theatre
Attn: Development
70 Audubon Street, 2nd Floor
New Haven, CT 06510
If you work for a company that has a matching gift program, you may be able to double (or triple) your gift to us–without any cost to you. Please contact your employer’s Human Resources Department to obtain a matching gift form.
If you are 70 ½ you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA directly to Long Wharf Theatre. Your gift will count toward your Required Minimum Distribution, but will not be included in your taxable income.
Planned Giving
Gifts of appreciated stock that you have owned for more than one year can provide important tax benefits: (a) you can deduct the full fair market value of the stock as of the date of the gift; and (b) you will also avoid the capital gains tax on the appreciation.
For instructions to contribute appreciated stock, please email members@longwharf.org.
Include the theatre in your long-term philanthropic plans—through bequests, retirement plan designations, life insurance gifts, and other deferred gifts. For more information on how you can become a member of the Long Wharf Theatre Legacy Circle, email development@longwharf.org.

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a flexible and tax-efficient way to manage your charitable giving. With a DAF, you make a contribution to a fund, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to your chosen charities at your convenience. It's like having your own personal charity fund, with the added benefit of professional management and administrative support. Perfect for those who want to streamline their giving and make a meaningful impact over time.
