Hi Dog Story friends!
Because we are an ALL-VOLUNTEER OPERATION, any donation you make comes right back at you via investments in our facilities – as well as our continued promise to keep ticket prices low.
If you’ve never given to Dog Story before, we have a wonderful matching grant from the Frey Foundation that will match your gift, dollar for dollar, for new donors of $100 or less! If you have given before, we hope it was so much fun you want to do it again…and again…and again! (You get it. You’re important to us.)
In either case, because we are a 501(c)3 nonprofit, any amount you give is tax deductible for 2012!
Please donate whatever you can. Every single dollar makes a difference! And the more dollars you donate, the more cool DOG STORY STUFF YOU GET! You can either donate right here:
…or you can always send check or money orders to Dog Story Theater, 716 College Ave. SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49503. (We can’t receive mail at our actual theater address on Jefferson) For more specific info about how your money will be spent, click HERE.
Why should you consider laying down some cold, hard cash?
On your last visit to Dog Story Theater – your affordable, nonprofit hotspot for drama, comedy, movies and musicals – did you:
Easily pay with a swipe of the credit or debit card?
Relax and sit back in our new Haworth chairs – the ones with built-in cushions?
Get a better view from our new risers?
Play on our new movable and flexible stage?
Whether you joined us for a Comedy Monday or Pigeon Creek Shakespeare, for a play like “My Dearest Friend” or a Sarah Jean Anderson show, you probably noticed at least one of these improvements in comfort and convenience, made possible by donors like you!
We are paying for a retractable projection screen that allows more creative options for performers. We are working on improving our basement space for rehearsals and workshops. And, as the neighborhood has become increasingly desirable, we are dealing with higher rents.
If you’ve given us your mailing address you should be receiving a hard copy of this as well but we wanted to make sure you had all the info using as many methods as possible without one of us actually coming to your house!
Thanks for your support of Dog Story Theater and all the performers who have a home because of your generosity.
Sincerely,
The Dog Story Board

PSssssst: If you throw us a bone here, you can get some swag.
