Ways to Give
Capital Contributions
Your contribution to our capital campaign will ensure we are able to complete the necessary capital upgrades, inside and outside of the Morris, that will see this beautiful building into the next 100 years of arts and culture in our community. Contributions to this fund can be made over time or in recurring amounts.
Endowment
One of the most critical elements of the Morris’ 100 Campaign is the establishment of two endowment funds: an Equity in the Arts endowment and an ongoing maintenance fund. Gifts to these funds will guarantee the future for the next generation of Morris patrons through managed investment dividends. Contributions to the endowments can be made over time or in recurring amounts.
Stock, Bonds or Securities Gifts
We are able to accept gifts in the form of stock, bonds or securities. Contributions to this fund can be made over time or in recurring amounts.
Planned Gifts
Planned gifts can come in many forms and are impactful to the future of this campaign. Planned gifts include gifts through a will, retirement assets, real estate sales, annuities and insurance policies.
Matching Gifts
Many corporate employers offer gift matching for their employees making donations to 501c3 with charitable gifts. We ask all donors to confirm with their employer whether or not they offer an active gift matching program.
Naming Rights
We have dozens of Morris naming rights opportunities to be offered with gifts starting from $5,000. A member of the Morris Committee will review these opportunities with you as you consider making a gift to this campaign.
Gifts to the Morris 100 are 501c3 eligible through the VPA Foundation and are tax deductible for our contributors.
