Support A.C.T.'s Annual Fund Today!

Download the Annual Fund brochure for more information.

To support A.C.T., you can use our secure server and online donation form and make a gift online.

Your tax-deductible donation plays an important role in the continued success of San Francisco's premiere theater company. In thanks for your Annual Fund gift, you will be recognized and receive numerous benefits that will enhance your A.C.T. experience.

Ticket revenue covers just 60% of the full cost of presenting live theater, and tuition alone does not pay for the expense of actor training in the conservatory. Annual Fund donors bridge the gap by enabling A.C.T. to fulfill its mission of nurturing live theater and training future generations of artists.

For any questions or comments regarding making a gift to A.C.T. or donor benefits, please contact Liv Nilssen or call 415.439.2450.
