How the State Matching Grant Works
This wonderful opportunity presented by the State of Connecticut will provide a 50% match for all donations received by the Kate by November 1st. This includes tax-deductible donations, individual Memberships, and Business Memberships. Thank you for your support!
Ways To Give
Whether you are drawn to the Kate for a love of the performing arts or of Katharine Hepburn, we hope that each Kate experience is a great one. Like many not-for-profit arts organizations, ticket sales alone make up only 65% of the Kate’s operating costs each year. The generosity of our donors and Members allows us to keep doing what YOU love – presenting dynamic and entertaining performing arts on the shoreline. As a patron, you help keep the arts alive in our community.
Select the type of donation that is most meaningful to you:
- You can sponsor a paver on the Kate’s Walk of Fame and provide a custom message to be engraved – link to the Kate Walk of Fame Paver Order Form
- Donate to our operating fund– Unrestricted contributions play a critical role in our success and will be used where needed most. Donations can be made in honor or in memory of a loved one or friend.
- Become a Member – Your Membership will help the Kate return to a bustling, vibrant community arts center with the same high level of quality you’ve come to expect. Memberships offer special benefits to enhance your Kate experience. Gift Memberships are also available!
- Support the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center Scholarship Fund , a new initiative in honor or our 10th year that will annually award a $1,000 scholarship to a high school senior who exemplifies an appreciation for the arts.
