TICKET DONATION POLICY
The Cowles Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and we donate only to other 501(c)(3) organizations. As a non-profit we must limit the number of contributions we make. Priority is given as follows:
- Arts organizations
- Education organizations
- Social Service organizations
- Sponsors of the The Cowles Center raising funds for not-for-profit organizations
We can give only once per season to each beneficiary group. The beneficiary of your event may have already received a donation from us, since multiple events often benefit a single group.
We will make no donations that benefit a specific religious or political organization or any organization that represents an issue generally regarded as political.
No donations will be made that benefit a specific individual or family.
We do not issue monetary donations.
