Where Your Contributions Go
During its early years Circus Center, then known as the San Francisco School of Circus Arts, operated with no subsidy. As we hired more teaching staff, upgraded equipment, made improvements to our building, and expanded our community outreach programming, we came to rely on contributions from individuals, foundations, corporations, and government agencies for about 25% of our annual operating budget. Now, as we continue to develop Circus Center into a world class circus school and as we expand our public performances of both the New Pickle Circus and the San Francisco Youth Circus, we will have to generate approximately 35% of our budget from contributed sources.

How You Can Help
From time to time, the Circus Center has fundraisers that help operate our facility supported through the generous actions of individual donors and businesses. Each may provide goods or services that you might need or want and already use. By purchasing such items through the Circus Center, we receive contributions from many organizations as they help support the community in which they live and conduct business.

Individual cash donations of any amount are deeply appreciated by everyone here at Circus Center. If you'd like to make a donation to Circus Center's scholarship fund, or to support our free ticket program, or to help with our capital equipment needs, please send your check to:
