Give in Other Ways

There are many ways to support the Lensic while also supporting your personal and financial goals.

Ways to Give

When you sponsor a Lensic Presents performance, you’re partnering with us to bring outstanding artists to Santa Fe for everyone to enjoy. Sponsorship opportunities for individuals and businesses begin at $2,500 and come with a variety of benefits, from increased visibility and promotional opportunities to free tickets.

Support General Operations

Gifts to our general operating fund help provide for the day-to-day needs of our organization. Your donation helps maintain our 88 year old historic building and cover staffing and administration costs. It also allows us to continue bringing world-class artists to Santa Fe and giving back to our community through our arts education programs.

Dedicate a Seat

Honor a family member, friend, mentor, or other beloved person in your life with a $1,000 Lensic seat dedication gift. We’ll engrave the person’s name on a plaque and mount it on the seat of your choice (subject to availability) at the Lensic. Each seat donation of $1,000 goes toward the general operation and maintenance of the theater.

Donate Stock

Did you know you can make a gift of stocks, bonds, or other securities to the Lensic, while possibly enjoying significant tax savings? The process is easy and the rewards are great: You’ll know your gift is making a difference at the Lensic and for thousands of kids who come here for free matinees each year.

Give an IRA Rollover Gift

If you’re at least 70½, a direct transfer from your IRA to the Lensic—called a qualified charitable contribution (QCD)—can count toward your annual required minimum distribution. It can also reduce your taxable income! All while helping the Lensic enrich lives through performance, education, and community programs for everyone!

Students from Capitol High perform at the Lensic Theater to local students.

Support the Endowment

When you designate a gift to support the Lensic Endowment, you help ensure the future of the Lensic for generations to come. All money in the endowment fund is invested for long-term growth. A portion of revenue generated by endowment investments is made available for use by the Lensic annually, while the fund itself remains intact, ensuring a stream of annual revenue in the years ahead.
