Donation Requests
Do you represent a nonprofit organization or community group interested in a donation of film tickets from the Colonial Theatre, either as a first-time applicant or prior recipient?
The Colonial Theatre is happy to assist community groups, nonprofits, and social service providers in delivering their missions.
We’ve recently launched several new grant and donor-funded partnership programs. These replace our previous ticket donation program and include:
- Ovations Fund. Clients of local social service providers and nonprofits who would otherwise be unable to afford admission can access the arts free of charge. Passes and punch cards entitle individuals to free film admission and a free small popcorn and soda. Organizations participating in Ovations can also plan private film screenings for their constituents.
- Sparks Project. Amplify your mission using film and the live arts. Sparks enables mission-driven organizations to host arts-centered events, such as documentaries with expert speakers or panel discussions, at the Colonial Theatre at a reduced rate. We put our assets (facilities, ticketing, marketing reach, speaker selection, and event and arts expertise) to work to help you advance solutions to the pressing issues facing humanity and our community. By pooling our audiences and resources, together we can spark action.
- ‘Phoenixville Gives’ Giving Tuesday Giveback Screening & Nonprofit Fair.
Priority will be given to applicants whose work aligns with the Colonial’s values.
Philanthropists, Foundations, and Corporations interested in contributing to Ovations, Sparks or Giving Tuesday should contact emily@thecolonialtheatre.com.
Educators, camp counselors and childcare professionals can request historic tours and guided or independent private film screenings for classrooms or groups by calling (610) 917-1228 or emailing info@thecolonialtheatre.com.
Private Screening Film Rental Gift Certificate good for tickets and concessions, Gift Memberships, and Colonial Theatre merchandise are also available. These experiences and tangible items are exciting additions to event auctions or giveaways and can also make great thank you gifts for employees, board members, and your donors. Each is available for purchase by your event committee, donors, or a sponsor. Please allow at least 72 hours for fulfillment.
