  3. Alternate Methods of Support

Explore meaningful and tax-efficient ways to support the bold storytelling, community programs, and artist development that make a difference throughout Orange County.

1) Give Through Your Donor Advised Fund (DAF)

Supporting Chance Theater through your Donor Advised Fund is a simple and impactful way to help ignite transformative storytelling in our community.

You can make a DAF contribution directly through our secure donation page.
Just visit: givebutter.com/chance-theater and select DAF as your payment option. It’s that easy.

2) Give Through a Gift of Stock

A simple and effective way to deepen your support for Chance Theater while maximizing the value of your contribution.

How it Works:

Gifts of appreciated stock can offer significant tax advantages. If you transfer long-term appreciated securities directly to Chance Theater, you may be able to deduct the fair market value of the gift and avoid capital gains tax that could arise if you sold the shares first. In general, gifts of appreciated assets are deductible up to certain limits of your adjusted gross income, with potential carryover provisions. Please consult your tax advisor or attorney for guidance specific to your situation — this is not legal or tax advice.

How to donate stock:

  1. Notify your broker of your intent to transfer stock to Chance Theater.

  2. Provide your broker with our brokerage instructions — contact Erika Miller (below) for the exact DTC/account details and any paperwork your broker may require.

  3. Tell us the name of the stock, number of shares, and your broker’s name and phone number so we can confirm receipt and properly acknowledge your gift.

  4. Stock is generally valued on the date the shares are transferred into Chance Theater’s account (the date of receipt).

Stock transferred in this fashion is valued on the date of the transfer — the date it moves into the Chance Theater account.

3) Matching Gifts

Many companies offer matching gift programs that can double—or even triple—the impact of your contribution. Taking a moment to check your eligibility can significantly increase the support you provide for Chance Theater’s artists, storytelling, and community programs.

If your employer offers a match, simply submit your company’s matching gift form along with your donation documentation. We’re happy to assist with any verification your employer may require.

4) By Mail (if preferred)

You’re welcome to submit your recommendation by mail.
Checks should be made payable to Chance Theater and mailed to:
