GIVE THROUGH A DONOR-ADVISED FUND
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a tax-advantaged charitable giving account that allows individuals, families, or businesses to support the nonprofits they care about. Contributions are made to the fund, and grants are then recommended to eligible nonprofit organizations.
By recommending a grant to Two River Theater through your DAF, you sustain our productions, education programs, and community engagement initiatives.
You can recommend your gift through our DAF portal:
Please note that, in accordance with IRS guidelines, DAF grants may not be used to receive benefits such as event tickets, memberships (including Backstage Pass benefits), or other goods and services.
To notify us of your DAF gift or for assistance, please contact Carmen Balentine at cbalentine@trtc.org.

August Wilson's The Piano Lesson

One wants to get rich off its sale, the other will do anything to keep it in the family. In this Pulitzer Prize-winner, the ghosts of the past battle against the promise of the future.
