The premise behind the creation of a not-for-profit is to provide a greater service or activity than the open market can support. While we are not for profit; we are for equitable access to all citizens, challenging ideas, encouraging creative thinking, community formation, innovative artistic practice, civic dignity and more. To ask a not-for-profit to become economically independent is to ask an apple to become an orange.

We rely on charitable contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations to survive. As we are a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation, contributions are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.

Responsible Citizenship
Just as not-for-profit social service organizations nurture the body of the community, not-for-profit arts organizations nurture its soul.

The arts:

• Improve our quality of life
• Enhance our region’s appeal as a place to live and do business
• Contribute to the spiritual well-being of our citizens
• Contribute to our economy through tourism and arts spending

• A cultural environment to attract and keep employees in our region
• Direct employee benefit opportunities, such as complimentary tickets, ticket discounts and corporate events
• In gratitude for their support, Village Theatre Project offers contributors opportunities to show their support for the Arts in our community through recognition in the theatre lobby and in our playbills; in our newspaper and radio ads, posters and brochures
• Your support of Village Theatre Project is a strong and clear statement of your support for the Arts, and enhances your company’s reputation as a leader in the community
