We invite you to join our family of supporters with a one-time, quarterly, or monthly gift. Visit our secure donation form, or contact us to learn more.

Gift Acceptance Policy
We solicit and accept gifts that further our mission of forging theater and community. In pursuing a gift, we consider how it might benefit Live Arts in the most ethical manner possible, and how it supports our goals and priorities, including our commitment to advance social justice by dismantling the systems, policies, and practices that have perpetuated patterns of institutional and systemic racism.
We encourage unrestricted gifts that enable our Board and staff to be responsive to the evolving and rapidly changing needs of our community.
Our full Fundraising and Gift Acceptance Policy, including detailed criteria and our donor bill of rights, is available here.
Live Arts is registered to receive charitable contributions in the Commonwealth of Virginia. A financial statement is available from the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services upon request.
