FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS

The Illinois Theatre Association is appreciative of any contributions you can make toward two very important Illinois High School Theatre Festival funds:
  • General Festival Fund - contributions help offset the expenses of the Festival.

In addition, you may also make a contribution to the Illinois Theatre Association to help support general operating expenses.
You may make a contribution in your online registration form (instructions will be posted there). You may also email executivedirector@ihstf.org. 

All contributions are tax-deductible -- the ITA is a 501(c)3 -- and will be acknowledged with a thank you letter. If you wish for your contribution to be anonymous, please include a note.
