Become a Friend
Thanks to the generosity of a dedicated Washington Performing Arts Board member, every new or increased gift received by August 31, 2026, is matched dollar for dollar, up to $60,000. Double the impact of your generosity!
Becoming a Friend starts at just $75, or consider becoming a monthly donor. A recurring gift of just $7 a month—about the cost of a cup of coffee—provides reliable, year-round support that sustains our mission and makes a lasting difference for audiences, students, and artists alike.
We are halfway to our goal but cannot reach this milestone without the help of supporters like you.

Making an Impact
“As a parent and a passionate supporter of the arts, I am continually inspired by Washington Performing Arts. The education program, Children of the Gospel (COTG) in particular, has helped shape my twin daughters into both skilled artists and ardent arts enthusiasts.
Since joining the choir five seasons ago at age eight, I’ve witnessed their personal growth ―from honing their vocal talents to learning the values of teamwork and dedication ―and the experience has been truly transformative for our entire household.”
– Dr. Tafaya Ransom
