LEGACY & PLANNED GIVING

Connect your legacy to Paul Taylor’s

Many patrons choose to support the Company not only during their lifetimes, but as part of the legacy they leave behind.

Planned and estate gifts – including bequests, charitable trusts, gifts of retirement plan assets, and other giving arrangements – can provide meaningful support for the Paul Taylor Dance Foundation while offering potential tax benefits and, in some cases, income to you or your loved ones.

THE AUREOLE SOCIETY recognizes and celebrates patrons who include the Paul Taylor Dance Foundation in their estate or long-term giving plans.

We would be pleased to work with you to explore a gift that reflects your charitable goals and creates a lasting connection between your legacy and Paul Taylor’s.

Your legacy can help keep Paul Taylor’s work moving forward for generations to come.


We thank our current Aureole Society members
for securing our future through their planned support.
