LEGACY GIVING

Leave a Legacy that Ensures Our Future

Our mission as a non-profit – to engage and inspire through the transformative power of live theatre – is made possible each generation thanks to the generosity of donors and the legacies of those who came before.

If you believe in the impact of our mission across Denver and beyond, we invite you to make your legacy part of our own. Make a legacy pledge to include the DCPA in your will, estate plan, or retirement giving. You are the reason why we can confidently say… the show WILL go on.

MAKE A LEGACY PLEDGE

The Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex Opened in 1979..

It is because of one Legacy Gift — a bequest from Helen G. Bonfils in 1972 — that DCPA came into existence. Since then, we’ve delighted millions of patrons, inspired each new generation of students, and pushed the limits of artistic expression through the transformative power of theatre.

Today, we uphold Miss Helen’s dream, engaging nearly one million people each year. All thanks to the legacy commitment of each generation.

What has the Legacy of the DCPA meant to your life?

“From regrettably asking my parents to see Spring Awakening with me, to convincing my husband to buy me season tickets for every birthday, DCPA has given me the opportunity over the past two decades to share what I love with the people I love.” - Laura & Danny A.

“As a little girl in Minnesota, I grew up performing in backyard plays. Moving to Denver over 30 years ago, I found the DCPA and immediately made it a priority. It has been a big part of my family’s life. Joining the Encore Society is our way of continuing our legacy and support. For us, it was the next logical step.” - Ruth K.

“We support the DCPA as a way to make certain that live theater is always around. It is important to leave a legacy for future generations, for there is nothing better or more immediate than live performance.” - Jenene & Jim S.

"We have been blessed abundantly by theater at the DCPA, and it’s our part to give back." - Kathy T.

"I grew up in Denver and tried to attend the theater. At the age of 18, I was able to take my mother to see Chorus Line. I will forever remember that feeling and how everything about it made me feel. I have attended ever since. My mother died a few years after that. But we so enjoyed that day of arts in our home city." - Mira F.

"The talent and variety of outstanding shows that the DCPA provides Denver have put us on the map. And, as an attendee of your community meetings, it’s clear you really listen to the community." - Linda E.

“When it came time to update our wills, we decided to support several organizations important to us and the community. DCPA joins a small group that will (someday in the distant future) receive the rest of our modest estate. Thank you for making our lives more delightful”- Bob B.

“I have been attending performances at the DCPA ever since I moved here from the Bay Area. I started attending live theatre since I was about 14 years old. I love the variety of performances offered by the DCPA, it makes it worthwhile each time.” – Dale C.
