Novel Ways to Give

44 cents of every dollar the Chance needs to operate comes from individuals and corporations in Southern California. Contrary to popular belief only 7 cents of every dollar
that we spend comes from grants. As a non-commercial theater, donations from
individuals and corporations make up almost half of every dollar that we spend. So every dollar that you contribute counts.

If you believe The Chance is important to your community, and you want to show your support, there are plenty of options...

 

The Chance Theater is a 501(c)(3) Not-For-Profit charitable organization that relies upon your donations to exist. Donations of $500 or more will be recognized in our production programs for one year.

TAX ADVANTAGE - Your donation is tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Corporate matching gift forms may be mailed directly to The Chance Theater, P.O. Box 3309, Orange, CA 92857.
