Corporate Partnerships

The Festival is able to offer unique corporate visibility opportunities at very accessible costs. From an individual show sponsorship at the $2,500 level to an exclusive Presenting Sponsorship of the entire Festival at $25,000, there are many ways to reach out to our loyal audiences which also allow you to play an active role in the success of the Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe.

Go Green!

If you can't afford a monetary donation, you can still support the Festival (and save a tree!) by going online for all of your Festival needs.

Do you find yourself using the Festival website to decide what shows to see? You can help the Festival to cut down on costs and reduce waste by electing to "go green" by reading the Guide online, and by letting us know to change your status on our mailing list.

Email Robin Barnes, Marketing Director

Subject Line: "Take me off the Guide Mailing List"

Bring a Friend to the Festival

Can't afford a donation? Bring a friend!

New audiences are critical to the vitality of the Festival. Our loyal fans return year after year, and so by introducing someone new to our work, you can help to support us for many years to come.

So please, tell your friends, show them our website, and have them to join you this year.

You can benefit as well - by bringing a group of 10 or more you'll save 25% off regular ticket prices!

In-Kind Contributions

The Festival has some surprising needs!

Every year we depend on hundreds of in-kind donations. You or your company may be able to provide in-kind support more easily than you'd think. Our in-kind partnerships have included the donation of cell phones, reception venues, T-shirts, hotel rooms, beer, wine, and even live canaries!

If you or your company is able to make an In-Kind contribution or are interested in an In-Kind sponsorship, please refer to the contact information below:
