Philanthropy with a Purpose

Ignite the Arts. Enrich the Community. Empower the Next Generation. At Washington Performing Arts, we believe in the power of the arts to inspire, connect, and transform. Your corporate partnership fuels this mission—bringing world-class performers and diverse audiences together across the D.C. region.

Arts education isn’t just enrichment—it’s essential. Studies consistently show that students who engage in the arts are more disciplined, more creative, and more invested in learning. Yet as school budgets shrink, arts programs are often the first to go. Together, we can change that.

With over 80% of our operating income coming from philanthropic and contributed support, corporate partnerships are not just important—they’re vital. Your support directly sustains programs that make the arts accessible to all, from students in underserved schools to families across our city.

Join us in upholding the words of our founder, Patrick Hayes: “Everybody in, nobody out.”

Let’s build a future where the transformative power of the arts is available to everyone. Partner with us—and be the spark that keeps the arts alive in D.C.
