Doing all of this is expensive! For example, the cost to produce Annie was about $50,000. So, where does IMPHuntsville get enough money to perform a show? From ticket sales, donations, and grants, such as those from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and Huntsville Arts and Cultural Grants. Unfortunately, the revenue from ticket sales is often around the $30,000 mark, leaving a deficit of $20,000.
That's where you come in! Since IMPHuntsville is a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency, donations of any kind (cash is especially nice) are tax-deductible.
We are pleased to offer a variety of incentives for both individual donors and business sponsorships:
