Donate

We don’t just have stars on stage. We have stars who make the stage possible.

Contributions to the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts are an investment in Kansas City’s performing arts future. As an investor, your donation helps to build Kansas City’s newest landmark. It also assures that extraordinary performing arts experiences enhance the lives of countless Kansas Citians.

As a privately funded, non-profit institution, we rely on the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations to sustain our mission.

There are many ways to give. Find one that meets your needs and interests.

Individual Gifts

Individual gifts of cash, stock or appreciated property are welcomed. Your gift of any amount makes a difference. It is easy to give online or download our contribution form and mail your gift.

Naming Opportunities

During our capital campaign there are many opportunities to mark inside spaces with special donor recognition. Naming opportunities are available for a variety of physical spaces ranging from seats in the Helzberg Hall and the Muriel Kauffman Theatre to the entire Grand Lobby and its glass elevators.

Matching Gifts

Make your contribution go farther if you or a spouse works for a company with a matching gifts program. In many cases this can double—and even triple—your gift. Check with your company’s Human Resources Office to find out if this is possible.

Commemorative Gifts

Planned Gifts

You can achieve personal financial goals and, at the same time, leave a legacy of support for the community and the Kauffman Center by using various legal and tax strategies to plan a gift.
