Benefits and Recognition
Making a gift to The Public feels great and offers added benefits that can enhance your theater going experience. Because every donation in every amount is important to bringing world-class theater and education programs to the region, we publically recognize all donors contributing $50 or more to the Annual Fund by including them in The Supporting Cast list in our performance programs and on our website for 12 months.
The Public's levels of giving are listed below along with the benefits received by each donor within that level. Our benefits packages are attractive, flexible, and can be tailored to fit your needs as a donor.
If you are interested in giving a donation of $2,500 or more, this can be considered a Personal Sponsorship.
If you have any questions or would like to make a donation please contact Amy Schnarrenberger, Director of Individual Giving, at 412.316.8200 ext. 722.
