How Your Gift Helps

Every dollar you give helps an artist with a disability grow. At Empowered Theater & Arts (ETA), we believe art belongs to everyone. No gift is too small or too big. Your support helps our artists learn, perform, and show the world their brilliance.

$10 – The Invitation

What it does: Provides one accessible ticket to an audience member with disabilities or their caregiver so they can see themselves represented on stage.

Plain Language: This buys a ticket for a new friend to see our show. It helps someone with a disability or their helper sit in the audience and see that they belong in the theater, too.

$50 – The Spark

What it does: Buys art supplies, scripts, or a costume for one artist.

Plain Language: This helps one artist look and feel great on stage. It pays for the paint, clothes, and books we need to put on a show.

$500 – The Growth

What it does: Funds a specialized workshop or "Self-Care Saturday" for 15 artists.
