Childsplay is deeply grateful for the support of corporations, foundations, and government agencies that believe in the power of theatre to transform young lives. For nearly five decades, Childsplay has been a national leader in creating theatre and education programs that spark imagination, inspire empathy, and ensure that all children—regardless of background—have access to the arts.
Institutional partners make this work possible. Through their investment, we bring nationally recognized productions to Arizona audiences, provide free or subsidized performances for Title I schools, offer research-based arts education programs for teachers and students, and create innovative new works that reflect the stories of today’s youth.
When you partner with Childsplay, your support not only strengthens the cultural fabric of our community, but also positions your brand as a champion for creativity, education, and equity. Sponsorship opportunities include recognition in front of more than 100,000 families, educators and children each year, customized employee engagement opportunities, and the knowledge that your institution is helping preserve imagination and wonder for generations to come.
