MAKE A LEGACY GIFT
By including MTC in your estate planning and becoming a member of the Meadow/Grove Society, you can assure that your legacy helps safeguard MTC’s mission well into the future. The Society, named for Artistic Director Lynne Meadow and former Executive Producer Barry Grove, was established to provide individuals of any means an opportunity to make a difference at MTC. A typical legacy gift involves no outright gift of funds during your lifetime, but can yield tax benefits and recognition today.
Donors who make legacy gift commitments are invited to join the Meadow/Grove Society.
This society recognizes and celebrates members and friends who ensure a robust future for MTC through making a legacy gift.
As a member, you are eligible to receive the following benefits:
- Invitations to Meadow/Grove Society events, including an annual brunch.
- Access to the Patron Hotline to purchase exceptional seats to all MTC productions.
- Recognition in MTC Playbills
