Fund for Excellence
Provide support for CoPA and the initiatives that directly impact the student’s artistic and professional experience. Your investment will help fund production costs for 100 plus performances of dance, music and theatre, the recruitment of professional visiting artists for master classes and performances on campus, scholarships and travel funds for student touring ensembles and conferences. Donations given here provide the Dean and College the most flexibility to direct the support to the area where it is needed most. Donate now!
Sponsorship/Program Support/Production Underwriting
CoPA produces nearly 100 live performances each academic year across all 3 disciplines – music, theatre and dance. In order to produce these performances for our patrons, there are production costs associated with each show and support may be directed to these expenses, ranging from music and recording technology equipment to wood needed to build our many on-stage sets. Donors can select from any number of programs or performances they would like to support and sponsor – whether it be a full season, a single performance or our Annual Holiday Wassail Banquet and Dinner, which provides an array of sponsorship opportunities.
Scholarships
Give financial support by providing a scholarship that allows meritorious students to attend Chapman University’s College of Performing Arts and further their education, while they pursue their dream of a career in the Performing Arts. Scholarships can be directed to any area of music, theatre or dance that is important to the donor and can be named in honor of someone special.
Endowments
Gifts of endowed funds are an investment and permanent source of funding that allow a donor to designate the area they would like their support directed to, whether it is an endowed scholarship, an endowed professorship, an endowment for a department or endowed chair. Each gift you make will provide lasting financial support and can be created with your name or the name of someone special you would like to honor.
Capital Naming Projects
Several naming opportunities exist within the College of Performing Arts for a donor to have their name on a building, existing classroom, rehearsal space, conference room or other high profile area on campus. Having a connection to a specific space on campus is a valuable way to foster creativity among CoPA students while providing an area to learn and grow.
Gifts In Kind
The College of Performing Arts accepts production services that will contribute to our many performances such as video production, lighting services, printing services, A/V engineering support, even catering. The College of Performing Arts also accepts gifts of musical instruments, books, works of art and other items that can be used as props or costumes in our productions.
