Corporate Sponsorship

PRAx sponsors are businesses, organizations, and philanthropic supporters. When you become a sponsor, you join a select group of leaders who make dynamic arts series and seasons at PRAx possible while also visibly demonstrating your support to the community. Corporate sponsorships are available for individual concerts and whole seasons, as well as for an array of special initiatives, and include a variety of benefits for the sponsor.

Contact Peter Betjemann, Patricia Valian Reser Executive Director at [email protected]

All sponsorships must comply with IRS qualified sponsorship payment rules and university policies. The fair market value of sponsor benefits may reduce the tax-deductible amount of sponsorship payments.
