Ticket sales cover only 50% of Wolf Trap Foundation’s annual budget. Only through private donations can Wolf Trap fulfill all aspects of its mission. This includes using the arts to educate—whether it’s improving the way children learn in preschool classrooms nationwide, or fostering the next generation of performing arts leaders through internships and residencies with Wolf Trap Opera. Private support also enables Wolf Trap Foundation to provide diverse, innovative programming in a casual, affordable setting. Donors receive a wide range of benefits, including the opportunity to purchase the best tickets before the general public, invitations to special events, and recognition.
While our stages are temporarily dark, Wolf Trap Foundation’s newly launched Music Moves Us initiative is a community effort to keep the arts alive. Thanks to the many donors who fuel groundbreaking education programs and strengthen the Foundation’s operations during this difficult time.
