The Universal Preservation Hall is committed to the restoration of the historic building, transforming it into a vibrant performing arts venue for Saratoga Springs and the greater Capital District. Without the support of generous people like you, the Hall can’t continue to operate. That’s why we hope you’ll join us in protecting this historical landmark, located in Saratoga Springs, for future generations.

Legacies & Bequests
You can make a lasting contribution to the preservation of the Hall by including Universal Preservation Hall in your estate planning. There are several ways to leave a gift. Many people leave a charitable gift in a will or living trust. You can set aside a specific dollar amount or leave a percentage of your estate or any assets left over after the family has been provided for. Another option is to name UPH as the beneficiary or contingent beneficiary of life insurance policies, funds from a savings or retirement account, or appreciated assets.

Gifts of stock, mutual funds, or other appreciated assets
A gift of stock, mutual funds, real estate or other appreciated assets can be an advantageous way to give. For example, you can donate a gift of stock without having to convert it to cash first, thus avoiding capital gains tax.

Matching Gifts
Many businesses offer to match the gifts workers make to nonprofit groups. If your employer matches gifts, you can double your support for UPH. Please ask your personnel or community relations office for more information and matching gift forms.
