Stage 43’s
“Not-for-Profits Helping Not-for-Profits” Initiative
In the spring of 2016, our Executive Board began a “not-for-profits helping not-for-profits” initiative, where we partnered with another local organization on each of our productions to help raise awareness of important issues within the community.
As a not-for-profit ourselves, we understood the challenges of building awareness and securing funding. So, in exchange for marketing assistance, we promoted our partner organization’s cause and donated to them partial proceeds from each ticket sold during our production’s 2-week run.
Stage 43 was able to give away more than $6,000. We are proud to have partnered with the following organizations:
