Corporate Giving
Put your money where your heart is, reach out to the community, and make contact with an affluent and intellectual customer base through corporate sponsorship at Krannert Center. Event and season sponsorship benefits include
Silver Sponsor ($2,500 - $4,999)
Gold Sponsor ($5,000 - $9,999)
Platinum Sponsor/Corporate Power Train ($10,000)
Season Sponsor ($50,000 sole sponsorship; $25,000 co-sponsorship)
In addition to our typical event and season sponsorships, we offer special ways for you to make diverse arts experiences available to everyone in our community. These vital initiatives are designed to offer new ways for people to interact with artists and art forms. Your gifts can be tailored to meet the needs of the program and your needs as a sponsor. We greatly appreciate your help in making these programs a reality.
Creative Intersections allow all of us to examine the arts not just on stage and not just from the audience, but inside out, from the core, deep down and personal. Find out more.
The Youth Series brings pre-K through high school students to the Center for outstanding plays and musical events with educational content geared to youth. Donors may select a specific Youth Series performance for sponsorship, and gift levels range from $10,000 (Platinum) to $5,000 (Gold) to $2,500 (Silver). Donors receive acknowledgment on all StagePage and Teacher’s Guide materials, in the Youth Series brochure, and on the Youth Series web site. Find out more.
