DONATE

Your gift fuels creativity and supports local artists, students, and community cultural programs.

  • Overhead view of six people working at a wooden table with laptops, smartphones, documents, graph charts, notebooks, and office supplies.

    $25 helps - with everything!

    The Monroe Arts council is funded entirely by donations, ticket sales, and grants. Your $25 gift helps us pay for the survival basics - insurance, website hosting, post office box, and so on.

    Yeah, we know, it’s boring - but it lets us keep doing the good stuff!

  • Rows of red theater seats in a large auditorium or theater.

    $75 refurbishes a theater seat.

    With the help of our amazing community volunteers, we have reupholstered 150 of the old, damaged seats in the Wagner Performing Arts Center - for the cost of materials only.

    But there are many more to do. Every $75 gift refurbishes another seat. Help us finish the job!

  • Group of children in costumes standing in front of red curtain.

    $250 sends a child to drama camp.

    No child should miss out on Drama Summer Camp because of financial hardship.

    The MAC offers scholarships to help families in need so their child can join the fun and learn acting, singing, set building, costume design, and more!

  • A stage or event setup with colorful pink, purple, and blue lighting, a metal truss structure on the right, and a fog or smoke effect.

    $500 buys a stage upgrade.

    Rigging ropes, battens, sand bags, backdrops, lighting - these things make the magic happen on stage.

    Community theater is growing like crazy in Monroe. Your gift will help us keep the Wagner PAC stage equipment current, reliable, and dazzling!

  • A young woman in a graduation cap and gown holding a rolled diploma tied with a pink ribbon, smiling brightly, standing against a yellow patterned background, holding a sign that says "Thank you!"

    $1,000 provides a senior scholarship.

    Each year, the MAC is proud to provide scholarships to graduating seniors who have declared an intent to pursue higher education in the visual or performing arts.

    Your gift will help a student on their journey to a successful career in their chosen creative field!

  • A glowing yellow neon light shaped like a light bulb on a blue-green gradient background.

    $2,500 keeps the theater lights on.

    Did you know that the utility bill at the Wagner Performing Arts Center is about $6,000 per year? That’s a lot of money for a small non-profit to find.

    Your $2,500 gift pays for about five months of heat and light at our treasured historic theater!
