CELEBRATE COMMUNITY

The performing arts world has been hard hit by the pandemic, significantly affecting artists across the spectrum as well as venues and theaters such as the Bankhead. “Vineyard Vibes” is a truly local effort to support the survival of the arts in the Tri-Valley. Retzlaff Vineyards has made their stage available for the events, which will be recorded and edited by Advance Creative, a full service video production agency located in Livermore. LVPAC’s staff now includes a trained COVID-19 compliance officer to ensure safety requirements are met during recording at the private facility. Advance Creative is donating their services to support the effort, as are the performers. “Vineyard Vibes” is sponsored in part by the Bankhead Theater’s 2020-2021 Season Sponsor, UNCLE Credit Union.

In the spirit of supporting the community, audiences are encouraged to pick up a bottle of Retzlaff Vineyards wine and dinner from one of many local restaurants that are open for takeout, including Bankhead Theater ticketback sponsors – Uncle Yu’s at the Vineyard, Dimitri’s Taverna, or Hops and Sessions – to enjoy while watching the virtual concert!

Note: Registration allows access to the complete concert broadcast beginning at 6pm on each concert date and extending for 24 hours.

Be sure to look for the tip guitar below the screen during the event!

Leave a Legacy

With a legacy gift to the Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center, you can be sure your charitable intentions will be realized while achieving the most favorable income tax benefits available. We are happy to meet with you to talk about your intentions and situation. However, we strongly recommend you consult with your estate planning professional or tax advisor to fulfill your goals for your financial portfolio and tax needs.

Making a legacy gift to the Center also qualifies you to join the Legacy Society, a group of philanthropic and pioneering members who share a strong bond with LVPAC and a desire to ensure a meaningful, lasting home for the arts in Livermore Valley.

If you have already included LVPAC in your plans (or if you intend to), please let us know. Contact Chris Carter, Director of Development and Communications, at [email protected] or call (925) 583-2311.

We accept a range of planned giving options:

In Your Will
The simplest way to leave a planned gift is to make a bequest including specific language in your will or living trust naming LVPAC as the recipient. The following is an example of suggested language to include in your will/trust:

“I give and bequeath to the Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center, a California non-profit corporation, located at 2400 First Street, Livermore, CA 94550, the sum of $____, or ______% of my estate, to be used for the accomplishment of its general purpose (or for a specific purpose as indicated).”

Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity (CGA) is the easiest way to create dependable income for life and help the Center. Please note that LVPAC does not administer CGAs but can recommend an administrator.

Charitable Trusts
A Charitable Remainder Trust or Charitable Lead Trust allows you to receive an estate or gift tax deduction and create a source of income for you or your loved ones while supporting the Center. Please note that LVPAC does not administer these trusts but can recommend an administrator.

Real Estate/Appreciated Assets
A variety of assets can be donated such as real estate, appreciated securities, and tangible personal property such as art or jewelry. Donating appreciated assets can help offset income and capital gains taxes. If you are contemplating gifting an investment property or a vacation home, a gift of real estate offers an excellent option for tax-wise giving. You can also include the Center as a beneficiary of real estate or appreciated assets in your will. Please be aware that as part of our gift acceptance policy, all gifts of real estate, appreciated assets and tangible personal property are examined on a case-by-case basis.

Retirement Plan Donations or Life Insurance Policies
You can name Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center as the beneficiary of your IRA, 401k or 403b retirement plan or life insurance policy. This is a simple, effective way to support the arts while reducing or eliminating significant, often unanticipated tax penalties.
