WHAT YOUR DONATION SUPPORTS
YOUR TAX-DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTION
- Supports our dedicated coaches and staff who are the heart of Circus Center, ensuring that high quality coaching and expertise remains at the cornerstone of our programming.
- Invests in our historic building and specialty circus equipment that few facilities in the country maintain, preserving our ability to offer unique training opportunities in the Bay Area
- Funds critical repairs and safety upgrades to replace and maintain circus equipment, ensuring that our students have access to the safest and highest quality training space.
- Helps train the next generation of circus artists, ensuring that the future of circus is bright. Your contribution nurtures the emerging talent supporting our comprehensive pre-professional Youth Circus program that develops the talents of young circus artists and prepares them for future success.
- Supports our continued recovery and sustainability: Last fall, we reached out for your help to stabilize Circus Center. While we are not fully out of the woods yet, every dollar you contribute helps us take one step closer to a stable and sustainable future. We are working diligently to address the internal challenges we face, and we are committed to being responsible in maintaining what we have.
- Ensures that San Francisco and the circus community do not lose Circus Center: This facility is a vital space for the local community. Your donation helps preserve a beloved institution that we hope will remain a home for us all to engage in circus together for many years to come.
