Consultant, Easy Planned Giving
Gift Planning Specialist, Arena Stage
Maya Weil started out as an investment banker in London, England but transitioned to a 2nd career in planned giving in 2005 when she discovered she could combine her experience as an investment banker with her love of the performing arts. After almost 12 years at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington National Opera, and National Symphony Orchestra, where she managed the gift planning programs, she started her consulting practice, "Easy Planned Giving." She realized that many smaller organizations could use some help with how to raise legacy funds but don't have the money to hire staff specifically for planned gifts. She is also the Gift Planning Specialist at Arena Stage for the Performing Arts.
Maya serves as a Board Member of the Tony AwardŽ-winning Signature Theatre in Arlington, Virginia, the National Capital Gift Planning Council, Paragon Philharmonia, AlpenKammermusik, and is Co-Chair of the Programming Committee of the Washington, DC Estate Planning Council. In her free time, she plays the violin in several orchestras and teaches violin.
