RISE ABOVE AND SUPPORT ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY
Live theatre offers a rare refuge in a world of uncertainty and change. It’s a place where we gather, reflect, and connect—where powerful stories spark conversations and strengthen our community bonds.
The arts are essential to a thriving society. Yet, since the pandemic, arts organizations like Arizona Theatre Company have faced stagnant philanthropic support, even as operational costs have soared by over 30%.
This growing gap between rising costs and flat funding presents a significant challenge. To thrive in this new reality, we must raise more funds, engage more patrons, and deepen our impact across the state – so that we can continue to produce exceptional, professional live theatre, and provide access to thousands across Arizona. ATC’s Board of Trustees has launched the Rise Above Campaign .
Our success relies on the support and generosity of individuals like YOU , who believe in the transformative power of the arts. ATC has been a cornerstone of our community for generations, providing unforgettable performances, captivating stories, and a platform for national and local talent to shine.
Your donations impact our ability to create exceptional theatrical experiences that touch the hearts and minds of our audience members, reach thousands of students each year, and engage with our communities.

IRA Gift Rules and Requirements

You may still make a gift from your IRA if you are 70½ years of age on the date of the gift.
You may contribute up to $100,000 per year as an individual.
You must transfer funds directly from your IRA to ATC or the charity of your choice.
