Thank you for considering joining the Legacy Society!
The Charles D. Kakuk Legacy Society, named for the late Charles D. Kakuk, long-time Next Act Theatre Managing Director, recognizes individuals who have made a lasting impact on Next Act Theatre through their generous planned gifts.
Legacy Society members are vital to Next Act Theatre’s continued success. Your gift helps Next Act Theatre produce intimate, compelling artistic programming and empowering youth education for years to come.
Members enjoy all of the benefits of our Producer’s Circle, including exclusive invitations to behind-the-scenes production events, a voucher for two drinks at every Next Act performance, and your name listed as a member in playbills and on our website, in perpetuity.
Joining the Legacy Society might entail designating a charitable gift to Next Act in your will. It also may include setting up a Charitable Remainder Trust, designating Next Act as a life insurance beneficiary or including Next Act in other retirement plans.
The purpose of the Legacy Account is to hold and maintain gifts, donations, and bequests contributed to Next Act Theatre. The investment objective of the Legacy Account is to seek long-term capital growth, with income. Next Act’s Board of Directors will be responsible for approving distributions from the Legacy Account, taking into account the mission of Next Act and the relevant gift document.
To join the Charles D. Kakuk Legacy Society, print and complete our statement of intent. You can return it to us by emailing it to tawnie@nextact.org mailing it to Next Act Theatre, PO Box 394, Milwaukee, WI 53201. Questions before you make your commitment?
