Request a Charitable Donation

Ordway Center for the Performing Arts supports fundraising events for nonprofit organizations through the donation of performance tickets requested at least three weeks in advance of an event.

Donation Policy
Ordway is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and it's our policy to donate only to other 501(c)(3) organizations. We would like to grant all requests, but as a nonprofit organization, we must limit the number of contributions we make. Priority is given as follows:

  • Arts organizations
  • Education organizations
  • Other nonprofit organizations
  • Medical organizations and medical research
  • Sponsors of Ordway raising funds for nonprofit organizations

Additionally:

  • We can give only once every two calendar years 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.
  • No donations will be made to organizations for their United Way campaigns (the Ordway conducts its own annual United Way campaign).
  • All requests subject to availability.

Requests must be received in writing by mail or using the request form below.

  • Provide the name, the event date and a description of the event
