Giving to FringeArts through a Foundation or Donor Advised Fund
Many Producers Circle level donors choose to support FringeArts through a charitable foundation or a donor advised fund. According to IRS regulations, donors may not receive any tangible benefits or services in exchange for the grant from their foundation or donor advised fund. In these situations, FringeArts can offer basic benefits that carry no tangible value. These available benefits include:
- Recognition as a donor, including the opportunity to be named as a Sponsor of a select show of your choice during any of our festivals (with a gift of $1,000 or more)
- Invitations to Fringe Festival VIP Opening Night, annual Works-in-Progress Member Appreciation Rehearsal Receptions, and Inside Look
- Invitations to other exclusive, private events throughout the year
- 20% discount at Fringe Bar
If you prefer to receive the full range of available goods and services associated with the gift level that you choose, including an annual FringeArts membership for discounts, and complimentary tickets to performances and FEASTIVAL, you may make a personal payment to purchase the value of benefits at cost. Please note that the personal payment amount cannot be subtracted from the foundation or donor advised fund grant amount.
The fair market value of Producers Circle benefits is as follows:
Associate Producer ($500-$999): Benefits valued at $150
Co-Producer ($1,000-$2,499): Benefits valued at $395
Producer ($2,500-$4,999): Benefits valued at $615
Executive Producer ($5,000-$9,999): Benefits valued at $915
Star Producer ($10,000-$24,999): Benefits valued at $985
Icon Producer ($25,000+): Benefits valued at $1,210
