York Theatre Royal is taking part in Big Give’s Arts for Impact campaign – with funds raised going towards creating theatre experiences for the community.
Big Give is an organisation which boosts fundraising opportunities for charity organisations by utilising a match funding model. The campaign runs this week between Tuesday 19 and 26 March.
York Theatre Royal’s fundraising target is £5,000, but all donations made this week will be matched 1:1 if the fundraising target is met – meaning that £10,000 of funds will be raised instead.
The donations could help York Theatre Royal fund a variety of activities and projects including next year’s community production, producing work for the Main Stage and Studio Theatre, the work done in partnership with charities to help combat loneliness, support vulnerable adults and children, and those who are marginalised and to help maintain the historic building.
Vicky Biles, communications and development director at York Theatre Royal said, “York Theatre Royal are so thankful to our members, individuals and businesses who help us to thrive through donations made and ensure theatre and the Arts are accessible and welcoming to all.
“All donations made this week through the Big Give’s Arts for Impact campaign will be doubled allowing for a greater impact. We are grateful to anyone who can support us reaching this fundraising goal during this time.”
Donations to the Big Give can be any amount and can be done through the website.
