Ways to Give
There are many meaningful ways to support Cookeville Children’s Theatre.
Every gift helps strengthen a place where young people grow in confidence, creativity, courage, and empathy—and where our community comes together through the arts. Whether you choose to give monthly, invest in our future through campaign support, help make theatre training more accessible for students, or sponsor a production, your generosity matters deeply.
Explore the giving opportunities below and choose the one that speaks most to you.
Monthly Giving That Sustains CCT
The Encore Circle is our community of monthly donors who give at any amount on a recurring basis. These gifts provide dependable support for CCT’s day-to-day operations and help sustain every area of our work.
Encore Circle gifts support productions, educational programming, artist support, and building operations—meeting the ongoing needs that keep CCT thriving all year long.
As an Encore Circle donor, you help provide steady, reliable support, and you’ll also receive CCT news first, along with our full newsletter twice per year.
Invest in CCT’s Next Chapter
Our Capital Campaign – Phase Two is focused on securing CCT’s future by retiring debt and transforming our facility to better serve the next generation of students, artists, and audiences.
This campaign will help fund important improvements to our building, including renovations, updated learning and gathering spaces, and the creation of a flexible black box theatre that will expand what is possible at CCT.
Campaign gifts are an investment in the future of this organization—and in the future of the young people and community we serve.
Help Make CCT Accessible to More Students
We believe every child should have the opportunity to participate in theatre, regardless of financial circumstance.
Gifts to our Scholarship Fund help provide tuition assistance for students who want to take classes, attend camps, and participate in CCT programs but may need extra support to do so. These gifts directly open doors for young people and help ensure that CCT remains a welcoming and accessible place for all.
Support a Specific Area of CCT’s Work
Some donors feel especially called to support a particular production or area of need. Special giving opportunities and production sponsorships allow individuals, families, and businesses to connect their support to a specific part of CCT’s work.
This may include sponsoring a MainStage production, supporting a special performance.
These gifts are a meaningful way to visibly partner with CCT while helping create exceptional experiences for our students and audiences.
