Guthrie Theater

The Guthrie supports fundraising events for nonprofit organizations through the donation of performance tickets and backstage tour admissions.

Donation Policy

The Guthrie is a 501(C)3 non-profit, and it's our policy to donate only to other 501(C)3 organizations. We would like to grant all requests, but as a non-profit organization, we must limit the number of contributions we make. Priority is given as follows:

• Arts organizations
• Education organizations
• Medical organizations and medical research
• Sponsors of the Guthrie raising funds for non-for-profit organizations

Additionally:

• We can give only once per year to each beneficiary group. (Note: The beneficiary of your event may have already received a donation from us, since multiple events often benefit a single group.)
• No donations will be made that benefit a specific religious or political organization.
• No donations will be made that benefit a specific individual or family.
• Donations are limited to fundraising events only; we do not contribute door prizes.

Application Process

Requests must be received in writing, either by mail, FAX or email.

• Provide the name, the date and a description of the event
• Indicate the beneficiary, their 501(C)3 Tax ID number, and explain how proceeds from the event will be used.
• Provide the name, phone number and email address of a contact person.

Application Submissions

Be sure to include a mailing address with your submission.  Regardless of how your request is received, all certificates are distributed via US Postal Service.
