The Eisemann Center for Performing Arts brings great performing artists and entertainers from around the world to North Texas, connecting and engaging people through inspiring arts experiences. However, ticket sales cover less than 40% of operating costs. The Eisemann Center relies on the financial support of the community to ensure artistic excellence in programming and access to arts education opportunities. There are many ways to support the Eisemann Center. Below are opportunities to support the Eisemann Center:

Eisemann Educates $2,000 - $25,000

Eisemann Educates is the education and outreach component of Eisemann Center Presents and enables the Eisemann Center to be a place where thousands of children and youth have their eyes opened to the performing arts. Generous contributions from partners make it possible to continue serving young people with arts, entertainment and education initiatives. The outreach initiatives of Eisemann Educates have made it possible for more than 12,000 children, youth and adults from underserved populations to have access to the performing arts and experience the magic of live entertainment at the Eisemann Center.

Title/Show Sponsorship $5,000 - $50,000

Corporate sponsorship of the Charles W. Eisemann Center offers unparalleled promotional and hospitality opportunities at a leading North Texas cultural center. A strong cultural community helps the business community grow stronger and the Eisemann Center is at the heart of the vibrant arts community in Richardson and North Texas. Local, regional, national and international corporations know that an investment in the Eisemann Center demonstrates a commitment to the quality of life in the communities where their employees and customers live and work. The Eisemann Center has a successful track record of helping companies accomplish key business objectives through sponsorship of events and series at the Eisemann Center.

A hand-engraved brass plate with specified wording will be placed on the back of seats in the Hill Performance Hall or in the armrest of the fixed seats in the Bank of America Theatre. 

Friends Membership $50 - $2,500 annually

Friends of the Eisemann Center is the annual membership program for individual and corporate donors to the Charles W. Eisemann Center. Donations are put to work presenting the richly diverse entertainment that Eisemann Center Presents has become known for; operating a world-class performance facility and funding access to the arts through the Eisemann Educates program.

All Friends benefits are designed to enhance the value of your Eisemann Center experience and create a deeper sense of engagement. Tax-deductible gifts will help produce educational residency opportunities for audiences in a variety of settings. Friends will receive invitations to many special “behind the curtain” events during the season, including receptions with artists performing in Eisemann Center Presents shows and all special events produced by the Center.

Businesses can also be a corporate Friend of the Eisemann Center, forming a partnership that allows managers and employees to have access to special benefits and volunteer opportunities that will enrich their lives and broaden their experiences.

Eisemann Edge $125 - $1,500

The Eisemann Edge Initiative encourages innovation by uplifting projects that incorporate technology into performing and visual arts in new and creative ways. Through the Eisemann Center Endowment Fund, made possible by the City of Richardson and the Eisemann Center for Performing Arts' partnership with the Harry W. Bass Jr. School of Arts, Humanities and Technology at UT Dallas, residents and students have been able to explore and experience the enhancement of art through the use of technology.

There are opportunities for each of these of levels of support to the Eisemann Center to be acknowledged.
