Help Sponsor The Los Gatos
Shakespeare Festival and Festival Theatre Ensemble
Sponsorship has been a part of theater
since Shakespeare’s time
Matching Grant Program
For the 2007
season, you can make your sponsorship and donations go twice as far.
Festival Theatre Ensemble applauds the generosity of our anonymous donnors, who have set up a special matching grant program for 2007. Every
dollar you donate will be matched by this program. That means if you
donate $100.00, then double that amount will go towards helping
FTE and the Los Gatos Shakespeare Festival reach its fundraising goals,
and help upgrade and improve our stage, lighting, and more! read more
about our sponsorship levels, and consider making your tax deductible
donation and you too can be a patron of the arts!
As in years past, our
stage cannot come alive without the support of many in our community. No
costumes, scenery, or stunning performances would grace our stage
without your support. At the bottom of this page, we pay tribute to
those that support us year to year as Corporate Sponsors. Please take a
moment to look at their contribution, as they are businesses like yours.
Your patronage allows FTE
to provide live classical outdoor theatre for our local Bay Area
communities; provide an arts conservatory to foster growth in younger
actors; and provide important outreach to schools to teach and inspire
young minds through our Shakespeare Connection school visit program.
With your help, FTE can continue to offer this magic to all of the
citizens of our region through your donations.
Almost half of our budget
is earned through contributions from people like you who provide a home
for Shakespeare - along with many other classic and new playwrights.
Your gifts allow us to keep our ticket prices affordable, and ensure
that we remain true to our charter to be “your Shakespeare Festival.”
