Sponsors
Foundation grants and corporate sponsors form the financial underpinning of the Michigan Shakespeare Festival. Please consider joining this elite group at one of our business sponsors. Besides knowing that your company is supporting this increasingly popular event, you will be recognized as the sponsor for a portion of the Festival and will receive a variety of benefits.
The Festival counts on donations to keep its artistic vision alive and growing - and to keep ticket prices affordable to the public. Nearly half of our income comes from donations by individuals, foundations and businesses. Donations include monetary gifts, as well as in-kind contributions of everything from office space and legal services to wood chips at the Festival site.
