Sponsor a performing artist student!

Why should you consider sponsoring an artist at ACT I Academy?

• Every individual is going to develop their own interests and passions which can then grow into beautiful goals to pursue and accomplish. As a non- profit organization, we never want finances to be the cause for a child to be forced to quit pursuing their goals in the performing arts. By sponsoring a student, you are helping a child to achieve the goals they have set out for themselves and to know there are people out there supporting them and believing in them along the way. 

• We are a 501c3 non-profit organization and can provide your business with a donation tax write off form as well as multiple advertising opportunities. Continue reading to learn more.

How are students chosen to be eligible for sponsorship?

• Students are chosen because there is a clear need for financial assistance. The families are doing all that they can to make their child's goals a reality, but financially that support is limited. 

• The staff chooses a student based on their financial need, as well as their work ethic, attitude towards teachers and peers and post graduation goals.
