Why It Is Important To SUPPORT TUACAHN
Your contribution directly benefits artists and enhances the quality of life for everyone in our community, through the expansion of art opportunities for us all and new jobs stimulated by the tourism Tuacahn attracts to our community.
Your contribution gives our promising emerging actors, choreographers, dancers, and musicians the resources of a nationally recognized, major professional theatre in which to explore their craft. For many, it's the opportunity of a lifetime.
Your contribution ensures a vital and dynamic future for the arts in Washington County.
Your contribution not only protects this valuable asset in perpetuity, it helps to ensure Tuacahn can achieve its vision for an even more fulfilling future we can all enjoy.
Tuacahn is a nonprofit organization, and ticket revenue covers only 80% of our operating costs. From making a financial contribution to joining our volunteer organization, you can help bridge the gap between ticket revenue and the cost of mounting professional theatre and concerts.
Our fundraising is run by volunteers who donate their time and services. As a result, we spend less than 3% of your donation on fundraising, just for paper, printing, and postage.
Without your partnership, our work simply could not happen. So, whether you decide to donate or otherwise participate (many people do both), you hold a special place in our hearts.
However you choose to support us, you'll know that you are making our mission possible; a mission we can all be proud of.

Why Corporate Sponsorship is Important
By joining our team of corporate supporters, your business will showcase its commitment to St. George’s flourishing arts community, and to enhancing the quality of life for everyone living here. You will receive prominent recognition, promotional opportunities, and entertainment benefits that demonstrate and celebrate your community leadership.
Whether your goal is giving back to the community, offering your employees and clients an unforgettable arts experience, or making the most of a wealth of marketing and brand enhancing opportunities, Tuacahn will help connect your company with a very desirable audience in a meaningful, memorable way.
Your sponsorship gives you significant exposure to our 130,000 annual ticket buyers. In addition, we spend more than $200,000 a year in direct, out-of-pocket advertising and marketing costs, plus the time to generate press releases for numerous articles that appear in the media each year, along with interviews and speeches. Corporate sponsors share in the benefits this advertising and marketing generates.
Depending on your sponsorship level and when you commit to becoming a sponsor, you can receive recognition and exposure in our advertising, marketing, and special events designed to promote your business. For corporate donations over $5,000 a year, we make every effort to include your logo wherever we give you exposure.
