General Donation Fund

The Opera House is happy to accept general donations in any amount. Your tax- deductible contribution will help offset the cost to operate and maintain this historic landmark and also help to continue to bring the entertainment and educational programs to Central Kansas. As part of its mission, the Opera House offers everyone the opportunity to experience arts and culture, regardless of age, race, religion, or socioeconomic status. Your donation will help it continue this effort.
