DONATE
The New Orleans Shakespeare Festival at Tulane is a self-supporting organization that depends upon private, corporate, foundation and public funding to operate. Tulane University provides office and limited performance space, but the Festival’s programming budget is made up of 40% earned revenue and 60% grants and donations. Given the economic conditions affecting New Orleans and south Louisiana, the Festival needs new individual, business and corporate funding partners who will help to ensure that this unique cultural resource is not lost. Your gift will be used to pay for artistic and/or educational programming. You can give an unrestricted donation or designate that your gift be used for either artistic or educational programming.
Donors may make tax deductible gifts of any size, but may wish to consider these options:
