The Washington Savoyards meets a large portion of its financial obligations through its ticket sales and other earned income. It could not survive, however, without the financial support of its friends.

You make a difference!

The Washington Savoyards mounts a fully staffed and orchestrated production for around $100,000. Ticket sales bring in less than sixty percent of the total cost.

The Washington Savoyards is grateful to have received a challenge grant of $50,000 from a Company friend. This grant serves as the basis of The Savoyards at the Atlas Campaign, a fundraising campaign designed to help make the Company a strong and attractive partner of the stunning new Atlas Performing Arts Center, where it both performs and has its administrative office. Join the Savoyards at the Atlas Leadership Circle with a gift of $5,000 or more.
