How would you like to be recognized?
I would like my donation to remain anonymous.
Decline Benefits
I would like to decline all tangible benefits and make my Campaign gift fully tax-deductible.
Ford’s Theatre Director’s Programming Fund
With the establishment of this quasi-endowed fund, the Director will have access to resources for priority projects and leadership initiatives to further advance Ford’s mission and President Abraham Lincoln’s unfinished work.
I’d rather have my gift applied to general support for the Campaign instead of the Ford’s Theatre Director’s Programming Fund.
*I understand that I’m opting out of support for the Director’s Programming Fund.
