Planned Giving

Planned Giving

A planned gift to the Mann is an investment in Philadelphia’s only outdoor cultural arts venue. It ensures that everything you cherish about this institution from the celebrated artists that grace the Mann stage year after year in beautiful Fairmount Park to the extensive education and community engagement programs that touch thousands of people each summer—all remain for generations to come.

Your generosity to future generations can also benefit you and your family through an:

  • Immediate tax deduction

  • Estate tax savings

  • Investment income
