Rise Above and Support Arizona Theatre Company

What defines a great state? It’s more than vibrant neighborhoods, thriving businesses, and successful sports teams – it’s a rich cultural landscape that reflects the heart and soul of our community. The arts shape our identity, inspire creativity, and bring people together. In an increasingly fast-paced and complex world, they offer a space to connect, reflect, and experience the stories that unite us.

That’s why the Trustees of Arizona Theatre Company have launched the Rise Above campaign – a bold, trustee-led capacity-building initiative to raise $6 million over two years to secure the future of Arizona’s Official State Theatre and address the rising costs of doing business. We are more than halfway to our goal, but we need your help to cross the finish line. Please consider giving today with a one-time donation or make your gift of support last through the year with a monthly donation.

Ticket sales cover only 45% of what it takes to bring these stories to life.

Because of this, gifts made to ATC from a DAF are not eligible for donor benefits that have a fair market value associated with them. Please contact the organization holding your DAF for more information on making charitable contributions to ATC or if you have any questions about the tax deductibility of your gift.
