Livermore Valley Arts is dedicated to ensuring digital accessibility for all visitors, including people with disabilities. We strive to continually improve the user experience and apply recognized accessibility standards.

We are committed to following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. We regularly review and update our content and functionality to improve accessibility and provide an inclusive online experience.

If you experience difficulty accessing any part of this website, need assistance obtaining information, or would like to request accommodations for a performance, class, workshop, or event, please contact us at [email protected] or 925.373.6800.

We welcome your feedback and will make reasonable efforts to provide the information, service, or accommodation you need in an accessible format.

Requesting ASL Interpretation

To request an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter for an upcoming performance, please email us at [email protected].

Please submit your request at least 3–4 weeks before the performance whenever possible. This advance notice gives us the best opportunity to secure qualified ASL interpreters.

While Livermore Valley Arts is committed to providing accessible experiences for all patrons, ASL interpretation is subject to the availability of qualified interpreters and cannot be guaranteed for every performance.

Leave a Legacy

With a legacy gift to Livermore Valley Arts, 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 LVA in your plans (or if you intend to), please let us know. Contact Chris Carter, Executive Director, 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 LVA 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 LVA 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 LVA 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 Arts 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.
