UPAF IN THE COMMUNITY

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, UPAF Members provide arts education and world-class performances for more than 96,000 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.

My kids have absolutely loved participating in the Milwaukee Ballet Relevé training program. It has not only nurtured their passion for dance but also helped them build confidence, discipline and friendships. Watching them grow and develop through this experience has been truly inspiring!
