Individual Support

Make a dramatic difference today!

Ticket sales cover only a fraction of our production costs - we depend on support from patrons like you to help supply the rest.

• Maintains the high quality of work for which Hawaii Repertory Theatre is known
• Keeps ticket prices affordable for all patrons
• Supports our education and outreach programs

We need your help to put it all together

Producing quality theatre is no easy task. Costumes, props, scenery, lighting, and the artists that give it all life; you can imagine how expensive this venture is.

Rather than increase our ticket prices, which might put quality theatre out of reach for many of our current and future patrons, we look to generous donors like you to help us "complete the picture."

Your gifts to Hawaii Repertory Theatre don't stop at helping us cover production costs for breathtaking productions on our stage. They also allow us to maintain and expand our educational programming in schools throughout the area.

Cash Gifts

Your contribution by check or credit card can result in the most immediate tax benefit for you and provide Hawaii Repertory Theatre with funds for current needs.

Stock Gifts

Gifts of stock can serve as a double tax benefit, allowing the donor to deduct the full market value of the securities and avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation. Stock gifts can be made in person, through a broker or through the mail.

Bequests

Designating a specific amount or a percentage of your estate as a gift to Hawaii Repertory Theatre will have lasting impact on our work and reduce your taxable estate for federal tax purposes.

Matching Gifts

Many companies offer matching gift programs for employees, enabling your annual gift to Hawaii Repertory Theatre to double, or even triple in amount. Please check with your employer about a matching gift form, mail it to Hawaii Repertory Theatre and watch your contributions grow.

Help us share the spotlight with area school

Many island students have never attended or rarely attend live theatre, and we think they're missing an important educational experience. Involvement in theatre, especially when integrated into the classroom, is a valuable tool for students to hone and practice critical thinking and real-life skills. Our most popular program, Hawaii Repertory Theatre's Young Artists Series, continues to grow with sponsor support.

Thank you for your support!

Without the leadership of corporate and foundation partners, the high quality of our productions and many vital programs at Hawaii Repertory Theatre would be at risk. We appreciate your commitment to adding value to our theatre and to our community, and we look forward to working with you during the coming year.
