Become a member

Many patrons become members because Wolf Trap is a treasured part of their lives. And because they know income from ticket sales only covers a fraction of what Wolf Trap Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, needs to present a diverse season of artists each year.

Members also support an array of year-round arts and education programs. Some members are moved by the opportunity to impact children’s lives through the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts. Others want to support emerging singers and artistic leaders selected for a Wolf Trap Opera residency or a Wolf Trap Foundation internship.

All members enjoy an array of benefits that come with giving to Wolf Trap Foundation. Regardless of why and what you decide to give, please know that you are making a meaningful difference in your community.
