THE KAY CIRCLE

Named for our great benefactress Kay White, the Kay Circle seeks to build a culture of philanthropy focused on sustainability and growth.

When you join the Kay Circle with a recurring monthly or annual gift, you help VCA keep the arts accessible and free for many living in our community—especially our island youth. It’s not about how much you give—anyone can join the Kay Circle with a recurring gift of any amount.

1. Click the GREEN button below
2. Select the monthly or yearly donation amount that’s meaningful to you (please keep the automatically renew box checked). 
3. Click ADD TO CART. 
4. Go through the checkout process (it will ask you to create an account if you haven’t already) 

You’ll automatically be enrolled as a member of the Kay Circle and will receive a thank you message welcoming you to the Kay Circle soon thereafter!

OTHER WAYS TO DONATE

Vashon Center for the Arts is listed as VASHON ALLIED ARTS with the Internal Revenue Service. Our Tax ID# is 51-0183051. 

• MATCHING GIFTS
  Many organizations will match their employee giving, some even tripling it! Over 1,000 companies across the United States match their employee’s charitable gifts or gifts of volunteer time to non-profit organizations like VCA. We encourage you to ask your employer if they have a gift matching program that will allow the impact of your support to grow even more! 

• DONOR ADVISED FUNDS
  Donor Advised Funds, or DAFs, provide year-to-year flexibility in allocating gifts while also taking advantage of the tax benefits of making a gift to a charitable organization. Please indicate the fund, designation, and size of your gift so we can register it accordingly. Be advised that certain donor benefits are not allowable under IRS guidelines. Contact our development office for more details at allie@vashoncenterforthearts.org 

• TRANSFER OF STOCK
  VCA encourages gifts of stock and other securities that may provide you with favorable tax benefits. To transfer securities, submit your request to your stockbroker. As always, consult your tax advisor about your personal tax benefits gained through gifts of appreciated stock.  

• IRA CHARITABLE ROLL OVERS
  As many of the baby boomer generation are aging into their 70s, they are taking advantage of this opportunity. The IRA charitable rollover allows individuals over the age of 70 ½ to donate up to $100,000 to VCA directing from their IRA without being taxed on that distribution. We encourage you to talk to your financial advisor for more details. 

• CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUST
  A Charitable Remainder Trust enables you to irrevocably transfer assets – cash, securities, real estate, or other appreciated property – to a professionally-managed trust either for life or for a term of years and receive tax savings up front. 

• PLANNED GIVING
  Make a gift that will ensure the arts are alive for many generations to come, increasing your support and impact for the future of VCA. We would love to talk to you and about your estate plans and discuss ways in which you can leave a lasting legacy in the arts! Call us at 206.408.7801.
