Foundation and Government Support
Corporate foundations, family foundations and government agencies like The Ohio Arts Council and Cuyahoga County Arts and Culture provide Playhouse Square Foundation with annual operating support, funding for arts education programs, and capital campaign contributions. Support from these organizations enables a wide array of meaningful programming at Playhouse Square, including innovative partnerships that benefit local students and educators, world-class Broadway productions, and the continued revitalization of Cleveland's theater district.
We welcome general operating and program-specific funding for the myriad educational and community outreach programs PlayhouseSquare provides. If you are interested in supporting PlayhouseSquare through a foundation gift or have any questions, please contact our Foundations Manager at (216) 348-5261.
