The future of The Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ programs — what happens on our stages and in our schools — requires an active endowment effort.
We welcome pledges, multi-year installments, stock donations and matching gifts. To personally discuss your giving options,
contact us at 303.446.4811 or consider these established funds:
Women’s Voices Fund
Established in 2005, this fund is dedicated to the support of women playwrights — past, present and future. Donors to the fund are invited to meet with the Artistic Director, playwrights, directors and more.
Initiate your donation by telling us about your level of interest.
- Associate Level — $300 ($25 per month; annual membership)
- Founders Level — $5,000 (payable over five years; lifetime membership)
Fund for New Plays
The development of new plays is central to our mission. This fund makes it possible to commission the best playwrights, develop plays in the Colorado New Play Summit and mount world premieres. Donations at any level are welcome; $1,000 gifts are recognized with a theatre seat plaque.
Actors’ Journey Fund
Support a National Theatre Conservatory class with a gift of $15,000 payable over three years. Meet the students and join them on their three-year journey toward a Master of Fine Arts degree.
William Randolph Hearst Endowment for Education Programs
Thanks to a William Randolph Hearst Foundation grant, we have established an endowment to support education programs for Colorado children. Donations of any amount are welcome.
Classics Fund
Because we believe the works of Shakespeare, Molière, Shaw and others continue to be relevant, this fund ensures that our productions of these enduring masterpieces are as spectacular, captivating and fulfilling as possible.
Theatre For Families Fund
This fund allows us to produce low-cost, large cast productions for family and student audiences.
