Giving Tuesday Templates for Theaters and Performing Arts Centers

‍Idea 1

🎭 Spotlight Sponsor Challenge

Local businesses sponsor individual cast members for $100-$500. Create simple sponsor cards with headshots and bios. Donors see exactly who they're supporting while funding your next production.

‍Idea 2

🎟️ Empty Seat, Full Heart

Sell "tickets" to empty seats for people who can't attend but want to support. Set different price levels ($25/$50/$100) and share photos of the "sold out" house.

‍Idea 3

🌟 Behind-the-Curtain Experience Auction

Auction unique experiences: backstage tours, meet-the-cast dinners, or naming rights to props. Use buy-it-now pricing to make bidding simple and raise funds for costumes or equipment.

‍Idea 4

🎪 Pick Your Impact

Create a "program fund" where $25 covers youth workshops, $75 funds costume pieces, and $150 sponsors a full rehearsal. Show live progress and let donors pick their impact level.

‍Idea 5

🎬 Opening Night Messages

Sell personalized "opening night" video messages from cast members to donors' loved ones. Set simple pricing ($15/$30/$50) and deliver via email after your show.

‍Idea 6

📚 Marathon for the Arts

Host a 24-hour "script reading marathon" online. Donors pledge per hour ($10-$50) while your team reads classic plays. Stream live and share donation progress.
