Patrons make our productions possible. Your gift directly funds the breadth of what it takes to bring each show to life, and in return you’ll get a closer connection to the work, from your name in the program to Opening Night seats, celebrations and behind-the-scenes access.

Choose the show you’d like to support and a giving level from $500 to $10,000.  Interested in supporting more than one production?  Yes, please!

To count toward your 2026 taxes, please pay by December 15, 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Crescent City Stage's Employer Identification Number (EIN) is 85-1507824. You may need this number for your tax records or to confirm our nonprofit status.

  • Yes. Crescent City Stage is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. For giving tiers that include event tickets or other benefits, the deductible amount is the donation minus the fair market value of those benefits, the estimated deductible portion is listed with each tier. You'll receive a written receipt for your records. Please consult your tax adviser for guidance specific to your situation.

  • Yes! Many employers will match their employees' charitable donations, which can double (or even triple) the impact of your gift. Check with your HR or benefits department to see if your employer offers a matching gift program, and let us know if you need any documentation to complete the match. Contact us at admin@crescentcitystage.com with questions.

We're committed to fair pay — everyone who does creative or production work at CCS is paid. At least 60% of every dollar donated goes directly to paying artists, with the remaining 40% covering production hard costs and the running of the organization.
