Giving Opportunities
While the Annenberg Center receives partial support from the University of Pennsylvania, all of the high-caliber performances—including theatre, children's programs, dance, and music—can happen only with YOUR generous support to the Annual Fund.
ANNENBERG CENTER ANNUAL FUND
Your new or increased gift to the Annenberg Center Annual Fund will be matched by the William Penn Foundation!
Supports all programming - theatre, contemporary and world music, dance and local artists at the Annenberg Center - including our popular Student Discovery Series and International Children’s Festival. In each of these genres, the Center remains true to its mission of presenting adventuresome perspectives on contemporary issues, timeless ideas, and diverse cultures – all at the highest artistic level. Gifts to the Annual Fund are 100% tax deductible (see Guild for value of benefits for gifts over $500) and provide much needed operating support to support the Center’s unique programming.
If you would like to designate your gift to either Dance Celebration or the Philadelphia International Children’s Festival, please follow the links below:
DANCE CELEBRATION FUND
Supports our popular Dance Celebration series, the region's major contemporary dance series and a recognized national leader in its field. Dance Celebration is a collaboration of Dance Affiliates and Penn Presents that features a broad range of world-class and emerging dance companies each season, emphasizing diverse styles and choreography, cultures and nationalities; the enrichment of the school curriculum through Student Discovery Series matinees; and service to the local dance community through workshops and master classes.
PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL CHILDRENS FESTIVAL FUND
Celebrating its 26th year, the Philadelphia International Children's Festival at the Annenberg Center is the oldest and one of the top five children's festivals in the nation, dedicated to presenting high quality children's entertainment from all corners of the world.
The Festival brings together children and families of all ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds to experience the magic of live performing arts created specifically for youth. Featuring thrilling productions indoors on the Center’s many stages, the Festival also spills outdoors onto the Annenberg Center Plaza with more performances by local artists and hands-on craft-making tables for children to engage more fully in the arts. Gifts designated to the Festival are 100% tax deductible.
