OTHER WAYS TO GIVE

Support the Long Center for generations to come by making endowment, legacy, and non-cash gifts to help secure the future of performing arts and creativity in Austin.

Endowment Giving

Make an enduring gift in support of performing arts in Austin by contributing to one of our endowment funds. A strong endowment is vital to our continued success, creating financial stability, and allowing the Long Center to weather any storm. 

Our endowment funds keep your contributions intact permanently, and a percentage of the return on investment is allocated to annual operations or the Heller Awards for Young Artists. 

Long Center Endowment Fund supports operational activities including performances & concerts, education programs, community projects & collaborative programs, and special events & festivals. 

Heller Fund for Excellence in Musical Theatre supports the Heller Awards for Young Artists (HAYAs) education program.
