We've Met Our Match!

Thanks to the generous support of our Barter donors we have met the $50,000 challenge match for our COVID Relief Fund! And days ahead of time! Many thanks to the anonymous donors who helped us create and build this challenge to offer our community. The 241 wonderful gifts helped us earn this match that will have a profound impact on the future of Barter Theatre.

The enthusiasm match contributors showed for Barter Theatre by collectively reaching this matching gift goal and inquiring as to our progress along the journey is a wonderful testament to your commitment to keep Barter alive. If you were one of our match donors or someone who asked how the match was going, your response is proof that Barter Theatre matters to you.

We thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts!

Your Support Makes a Difference

Considering a Donation to Barter?

Barter Theatre is deeply honored by the support of hundreds of individuals and institutions. It is through the generosity of these supporters that we are able to reach 145,000 audience members each year. We gratefully acknowledge the gifts and partnerships provided by these donors.

Barter Theatre’s Annual Fund for Artistic Excellence helps sustain everything you cherish about Barter as a hub of artistic vitality, educational innovation, economic strength and regional pride.

Because ticket sales generate only 65% of Barter’s income and much less so in the COVID 19 climate, we rely on investment in Barter Theatre by individuals, the business community, corporations, foundations and government entities. In return, your tax-deductible gift supports our life-changing mission throughout our region.
