BENEFITS

Become a donor

Stages and stories do more than enhance our lives. They transform our city and state in powerful ways.

Donors invigorate the Hennepin Arts community. Becoming a donor is an effortless, rewarding way to support our work. The range of donor levels enables you to provide support at an amount that is meaningful and affordable for you. All levels make an impact on our programming, our magnificent venues and our community.

We are grateful for the support from members of our community. We appreciate the impact of these gifts locally and throughout Minnesota.

As one of Minnesota's largest arts organizations, Hennepin Arts brings more than 600,000 people to downtown Minneapolis every year to experience the power of performance in its three historic theatres (Orpheum, State and Pantages) and the Dudley Riggs Theatre, home of the Brave New Workshop.

An additional benefit for donors

We are pleased to offer access to the PNC Encore Lounge to donors who give $1000+ annually. A private lounge, located at 900 Hennepin Ave., next to the Orpheum Theatre, the PNC Encore Lounge provides a space to relax prior to Bank of America Broadway on Hennepin performances, while enjoying complimentary snacks, wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages.
