Individual donors make it possible for the community to experience the performing arts in deep and profound ways. Their gifts have undeniable impact: supporting the Columbia Theatre's exceptional programming, providing unparalleled growth opportunities for students and supporting artists in creating and sharing their work. The Columbia Theatre wishes to thank all of our donors for keeping the momentum going.

Our home in Hammond and affiliation with Southeastern Louisiana University provide us with exceptional resources as we aspire to set a new standard for community engagement in the performing arts. Through our Main Stage events, numerous educational outreach programs and major cultural initiatives such as Fanfare, the Columbia Theatre seeks to integrate all aspects of the performing arts, thus deepening the artistic and educational experience for everyone - faculty, artists, students and audiences.

Named Seats
Hainkel Hall offers hundreds of naming opportunities for you or a loved one. Named seat opportunities are available at 3 levels:  $250, $500 and $750, depending on the location. (Please note that the naming of a seat does not guarantee the opportunity to purchase a ticket in that seat for every performance.)

Endowments
A gift in memory or honor of a relative or friend is a generous and thoughtful way to recognize a person’s life and their love and appreciation for the performing arts. Establishing an endowment requires a $10,000 minimum to be issued in one lump sum or over a fixed period of time. Endowments exist in perpetuity, the principal of which will never be touched.

Your gift helps ensure the quality programming for which Columbia Theatre/Fanfare have come to be recognized. For more information about these and other individual giving opportunities, please contact Southeastern’s Development Foundation at 985-549-3380.
