Dead Patron’s Society
The Dead Patron’s Society is a group of extraordinary people dedicated to enhancing the financial stability of Alberta Theatre Projects through major gifts and/or planned giving. Through our two endowment funds at the Calgary Foundation, the ATP Fund and the playRites Fund, friends and patrons can decide to give a major monetary gift, donate securities or shares, name Alberta Theatre Projects as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, make a bequest in their will, bestow their estate or promise a future major gift.
All donors to either the ATP or playRites Funds will become members of the Dead Patron’s Society.
Donations to our Endowments are managed at the Calgary Foundation and are held in perpetuity. It is the interest income on these funds that provide Alberta Theatre Projects on an ongoing basis, much needed capital to support the activities of the Enbridge playRites Festival of New Canadian Plays (playRites Fund) and operating revenue (ATP Fund).
We wish to acknowledge the following members of The Dead Patrons Society who have named us as a beneficiary of their life insurance policy or made a bequest in their will:
Andrew & Mavis Holder
Michael & Heidi Gatens
John Humphrey & Laura McLeod

The PlayRites and ATP Funds
The creation of the playRites Fund was announced by Bonnie DuPont, Group Vice President of Enbridge Inc. on February 2, 2006, in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Enbridge playRites Festival of New Canadian Plays. It is through the Festival that Alberta Theatre Projects maintains its role as a renowned national centre of excellence in the development and dissemination of new Canadian plays.
The ATP Fund was established in 2003 when a group of patrons decided to create The Dead Patrons Society, allowing individuals to make major gifts, bequests, or take out life insurance policies with Alberta Theatre Projects being the prime beneficiary of that life insurance policy.
To date, more than $1,334,585 has been donated to the playRites Fund and $1,305,576 to the ATP Fund. We are hopeful that with your support both these funds will continue to grow.
We wish to express our sincere appreciation to the following individuals and corporations who have given generously to the playRites and ATP Funds.
