Become A Donor

Alessandra Antonelli, Sister Act, 2024
Donors are the lifeblood of CFRT, with contributed funds making up 40% of our annual budget. Every dollar makes an enormous impact, helping us hire more than 200 contract artists, reach more than 60,000 patrons (including 20,000 children and youth!), and sustaining our dedicated staff. Whatever you can contribute, whether it’s $5 or $5,000, we are grateful for your support! 
 
BECOME A PATRON: Our Patron Donation of $200 gets you two tickets to THE PATRON PARTY & SEASON ANNOUNCEMENT which takes place every spring. With drinks, food, and live performances, this exclusive annual event is reserved for donors and gives you a VIP First Look at the upcoming season. Even more exciting benefits (Snacks! Behind-The-Scenes Experiences! PARKING!) become yours at the different levels in the table below:

Other Ways to Give

Want to get your hands on some of our critically-acclaimed popcorn for FREE as a Friend? That’s just $21 per month!

Securities

Gifts of appreciated securities or stock allow you to give a gift and enjoy tax advantages as well. If you have owned the stock for more than a year, you may deduct the average selling price of the stock on the day of transfer as a charitable contribution, and may eliminate capital gains taxes. Talk to your investment counselor.
