The Shaw Festival is pleased to honour and celebrate our bi-national founders – Brian Doherty of Niagara-on-the-Lake and Calvin Rand of Buffalo – with the renaming of our Legacy Program to The Doherty-Rand Legacy Circle. This Circle recognizes generous individuals who provide support for The Shaw through bequests, insurance gifts, trusts and other legacy gifts. Some donors prefer anonymity, and we will respect your wishes if you prefer your gift to remain confidential.
Upon your death, your estate is entitled to a donation receipt for the full value of your bequest, providing a significant tax credit.
US Donors: Bequests and other gifts from US residents are made through the Shaw Festival Foundation, which is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a section 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Your estate will receive a tax letter conforming to IRS requirements.
There are many practical advantages to making a legacy gift. But, to The Shaw, the best part about making a planned lifetime or future gift is our ability to honour your generosity now!

Leaving a Legacy: My Grandchildren are the Future
Being a part of this wonderful community for over 35 years as both business owners and residents, my husband Scott and I understood early on what the Shaw Festival means to this town. Theatre IS community. My grandchildren are the future; they are the reason we need to keep believing. They are the reason The Shaw has my enduring support. Thank you, Shaw Festival!
