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, 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.
