Bequests & Trusts

San Francisco Ballet encourages you to include San Francisco Ballet Endowment Foundation in your will or trust, and leave a legacy of dance for future generations. Bequests and other estate gifts have a significant impact on the Ballet and have helped the organization reach its current position as one of the world’s finest ballet companies.

Estate gifts are added to the endowment, a permanent fund that is invested to generate income in support of San Francisco Ballet’s annual operating costs. This meaningful form of support has accounted for more than $20 million in donations since the Ballet’s Endowment Foundation was established in 1981. The exceptional investment of the endowment has increased the value of these gifts and the annual income they provide to the Ballet.

By including the Endowment Foundation in your plans, you will know that your gift will be well managed and last in perpetuity to benefit an art form and organization you hold dear, providing an enduring tribute to your generosity.
