Charitable Donations
DPAC is proud to support the incredible work of local charities and non-profits by contributing tickets to be auctioned off during fundraising events.
We recognize there are countless worthy causes in our community, and we do our best to assist with donation requests whenever we can. DPAC specially reserves seats for community fundraisers, but those can go quickly.
When you send us a request, a few factors help determine whether DPAC is able to participate:
- The guidelines set by our contracts with touring productions (our contracts with some shows performing at DPAC preclude us from giving away tickets).
- The volume of ticket requests we've received already.
- Our current ticket availability.
- The timing of your event.
DPAC values the chance to support local causes, and we are grateful for the meaningful work happening in our community.
Please fill out the form linked below to submit your charitable donation request. A member of DPAC's Community Engagement team will follow up within two business days.
Sponsorship of Charitable Organizations, Events and Causes
DPAC often receives requests to act as a financial sponsor for charitable organizations, events and causes.
It is not within the charter or vision of DPAC’s operating agreement that DPAC fund or act as a sponsor or other supporting mechanism for area charitable events or causes. DPAC is owned by the City of Durham and operated by Durham Performing Arts, LLC under a long term agreement with the City. This operating agreement clearly establishes our mission and focus which is to operate, schedule, manage and promote all events at the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC). While there are innumerable worthy events and causes within the region, DPAC must defer to the City of Durham staff and elected officials for determination of where the City may want to dedicate their charitable resources.
