Patron programs
At the Crested Butte Center for the Arts, we are fortunate to be supported by an incredible group of people who believe in the power of the arts to enliven the soul and bring people together. That's why we offer exclusive membership programs designed to enhance your experience and provide you with unique opportunities not available to the general public. Our two premier patron programs, the Backstage Club and the Front Row, offer a range of benefits tailored to enrich your engagement with the arts and our community.
Gifts of stock
Donation of stock is one of the most tax-smart ways to give, allowing you to avoid capital gains tax. If you are interested in donating a gift of stock, please see these instructions.
Please note that it is important to notify the Center prior to any stock transfer in order for us to properly identify and acknowledge your gift. The Center sells all transferred stock within 24 hours of receipt to ensure a sale value as close to the donor’s intent as possible.
Matching gifts
Does your employer participate in a Matching Gift program? If so, please take a moment to maximize your gift to the Center (at no cost to you) by requesting a matching gift form from your employer. Contact your HR department to find out if your company offers a matching program!
Tribute gifts
Celebrate or honor the life of someone special with a contribution to the Center. Tribute gifts are a wonderful way to honor a loved one’s passion for the arts. You will receive a tax receipt for the gift and a notice will be sent to the honoree or a designated family member of your thoughtful contribution. The amount of your gift will be kept confidential.
