There are a variety of ways to support the mission of ECA, from recurring monthly gifts to stock transfers to matching gifts through your employer. Each of these methods plays a key role in ensuring ECA’s ability to provide quality arts programming to our community for years to come.
For more information on the various ways to contribute to ECA, please contact Amy Stagno, Director of Development at amys@ec4arts.org or 425.341.0159.
Planned Giving
Make ECA part of your legacy with a planned gift, ensuring that our impact in the community will continue for years to come.
Monthly Giving
With a recurring monthly gift to ECA, you provide a sustained impact that allows ECA to reliably plan future programs for the greater benefit of all.
Matching Gift
If you work for an employer with a Matching Gift Program, you may be able to double your gift to ECA. Many companies will match gifts of employees, board members, spouses, and retirees. Ask your employer if they will match your gift to ECA and submit a matching gift form with your contribution.
Payment Schedule
Interested in paying off your philanthropic contributions to ECA over a period of time? Contact ECA Development Assistant, Julia Studzinski at Julia@ec4arts.org to set up a payment schedule that fits your budget.
Seat Campaign
The best seat in the house is yours! Join other close supporters and preserve your support of ECA by purchasing a seat in our 700-seat jewel box theater.
Stock Transfer
ECA encourages gifts of stock and other securities that may provide you favorable tax benefits. To transfer securities, please complete our Securities Transfer Request Form and submit it to your stockbroker. As always, consult your tax advisor about your personal tax benefits gained through gifts of appreciated stock.
Donor Advised Funds (DAF)
ECA accepts gifts from Donor Advised Funds (DAFs), which may provide additional tax and financial planning benefits to you. Please consult your Donor Advised Fund or financial advisor for options and instructions on how to designate a gift to ECA.
Honorary & Memorial Gifts
A gift to ECA made in tribute is the perfect way to honor a special occasion or the memory of a friend or loved one. Honorary and Memorial Gifts receive special recognition in ECA’s program. ECA will send a letter of recognition to the individual you designate. The amount of your contribution will be kept confidential.
In-Kind Giving
Providing goods and services to assist in the operation of the facility and enhancement of our campus can be a wonderful way to support. As with cash gifts, your donation of goods and services is tax-deductible at fair market value to the extent permitted by law. If you have an item you wish to donate or can connect us with someone interested in supporting our facility in this way, we look forward to hearing from you!
