Why we need your Donations

Ticket sales alone are not enough to support our programs. The Elgin Theatre Company also depends on these to fund our productions:

donations from individuals,
donations from local businesses,
grants from foundations, and
grants from public bodies

If you would like to help support the Elgin Theatre Company your gift of any amount will help us carry on our efforts. When you make a donation to ETC you help to support cultural development in Elgin.

The Elgin Theatre Company is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your charitable contributions to ETC may be tax deductible, to the extent allowed by law. If you are an individual or a business and would like to donate, any amount you give will be greatly appreciated.
