DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE POWER AND IMPORTANCE OF CONTEMPORARY THEATRE?
An investment in 7 Stages is not only an investment in the arts, but also in
your community, and offers you tangible return. In a recent survey, over 80% of
our audience responded that they would be more likely to support a company that
they knew supported 7 Stages.
Sponsorship opportunities are available for individual productions, as well as
season-wide series such as our student matinee series, our Rush Hour Wednesday
series, or our Wine Tasting series. Branding your company with one of these
events lets the audiences served by these events understand your commitment to
the things that matter to them, which expands beyond just the arts themselves,
but into areas such as health and wellness, racial tolerance, gender
discrimination, and other broad social, political, or spiritual issues.
In return for your support of 7 Stages, 7 Stages will provide you with
complimentary and discounted tickets for your staff or clients, brand
positioning on line and in print, access to directors and actors for your
company's needs, with many other benefits available based upon the needs of your
company.
As 7 Stages understands that the resources of all companies may not be the same,
sponsorships are available at many levels.
If you are a restaurant, event space, or provide a unique service, and are
looking for means to sponsor 7 Stages outside of a cash donation, 7 Stages is
frequently able to accept in-kind support for opening nights, preview parties,
and fundraising events.
To request details on sponsorship levels or for more information, please contact
Catherine Pfitzer at catherine@7stages.org or 404-522-0911.

Did you know that in order for 7 Stages to be able to rely on ticket sales alone
to cover the expenses in our annual budget, we would have to more than triple
the price of a theatre ticket?
Each year, only 50% of 7 Stages' annual budget is covered by earned income
through such sources as ticket sales and theatre rent. For the rest, we rely on
the generosity of government agencies, private foundations, corporations, and
individuals like you to ensure that world-class professional theatre is able to
remain affordable for all audiences.
If you see the plays at 7 Stages making a valuable impact in our community,
won't you take a minute of your time to make a valuable impact back on 7 Stages?
With our new, easy online donations, that opportunity is just a click away. You
won't need to set up an account with PayPal or some other third party service
provider. Donations can be accepted via credit card directly through our secure
website. Don't be concerned that you can't "give enough" to make a difference.
Every dollar makes a valuable difference in the life of our theatre.

Donations can be credited to specific productions or specific initiatives at the
theatre, pending your interest. One popular initiative for contributions
recently has been 7 Stages' Helping Hands program, which helps to subsidize the
cost of tickets for the economically disadvantaged in the metro area.
For more information on contributing, or to make a contribution by phone, please contact
our Development Director, Catherine Pfitzer at catherine@7stages.org or 404-522-0911.
Donations by check can be mailed to 7 Stages to the attention of Catherine Pfitzer, 1105 Euclid Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30307.
