Members of the corporate and business community who support Ford’s Theatre play a vital part in making history come alive. Corporations large and small generously provide needed financial support in the mission of Ford’s Theatre—to celebrate the legacy of President Abraham Lincoln and explore the American experience through theatre and education.
The lessons offered by Lincoln’s experiences as President, his appreciation for the performing arts and the historic role of the Theatre in his final hours make Ford’s Theatre a unique landmark. Those companies who give their support are laying a foundation and helping to ensure that Ford’s Theatre is a place where visitors of all ages can come to learn, be entertained, and connect with the legacy of our 16th President.
Ford’s Theatre has a long history of outstanding corporate support, perhaps best illustrated by the Board of Governors. This corporate membership program has provided vital funding to Ford’s Theatre for more than thirty years and many of our most steadfast supporters participate. Members of the Board of Governors include corporations and foundations that are dedicated to supporting the quality of our programs and performances as we celebrate Lincoln’s legacy. With ambitious productions and an expanding education program, this support is more important than ever.
For more information about the Board of Governors or other forms of corporate support, please contact Michelle Keegan, Director of Development, at 202/434-9552 or MKeegan@fords.org.
