Sponsorships are a tax exempt means for maintaining and building the Detroit Repertory Theatre’s Capacity:
defraying the costs of producing and maintaining affordable prices; raising the level of operation; extending the sphere of influence; and, improving the physical home of the theatre.

The Detroit Repertory Theatre is on the cutting edge in the battle to advance cultural democracy. As a midsize operation our program decisions are based mostly, if not exclusively, on artistic or cultural considerations. Artist and staff fees are by far our largest expenditure. Our tie to our community is embedded and unequivocal. We are totally committed to our audience development and community outreach efforts. As an Actors’ Equity Union Theatre, we are dedicated to the establishment of a professional Theatre life for all indigenous Theatre artists. 
A Repertory sponsorship reaches far beyond a moment of support or a focus on particulars. It is an effort to help create a cultural democracy.

The Detroit Repertory Theatre has three sponsorship categories, Season, Production and Event Sponsorships.

Season Sponsorships
Season sponsors underwrite and lend their name to an entire season of plays. Season sponsorships are extremely valuable because they are inherently unrestricted funds that can be channeled to essential needs. In essence, a season sponsor is saying that you, the Detroit Repertory Theatre, are a fundamental and vital part of our indigenous cultural life. Season Sponsorships are an expression of assurance that the Theatre will remain part of that cultural legacy.
Season Sponsorships begin at $50,000 and receive due recognition throughout the season and honored presence at our annual fundraising events. 

Production Sponsorships
Production Sponsors designate funds to specific plays within a season. Sponsors receive credit in all production or event promotion, including programs, advertising, releases, Public Service Announcements, stories, and internet communications.
Production sponsorships range from $20,000 or above and receive an honored presence in our fundraising programs and appropriate production programs. 

Event Sponsorships
The Repertory conducts two major fundraising events during the course of a year. The levels of Event Sponsorships range from $1,000 to $30,000. Due recognition is given in all event promotion including recognition on the Detroit Repertory Theatre website.
