Your gift supports more than just entertainment excellence — it helps make our community a better place for ALL residents. In addition to supporting local performing arts groups that touch lives, employ thousands of artists and boost the economy, together we provide educational programs for 50,640 children and increase access to essential platforms for expression and understanding.
The performing arts improve our children's academic performance, life skills and job readiness and foster inspiration, hope and connection that transform people’s lives and our communities.
UPAF has a deep commitment to fostering an inclusive, connected community.
With a gift of $1,200 or more, you can designate a portion of your gift to one of these Community Impact Programs and change countless lives through the performing arts.
The ability to share performing arts with young people is an amazing gift. When you get to open them up to multiple disciplines the gift exponentially grows. The beauty of the performing arts is that there is something to engage every part of your body and allows you to create from your toes to your brain. The confidence built in some of the students even after only 8 classes is undeniable. We can't thank you enough.
