North Shore Center for the Performing Arts Foundation
Was established in 1993 to support the ongoing programming and capital needs of the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie.

The mission of the Foundation is to create and sustain the North Shore Center as a preeminent venue for the arts and a major asset to the communities it serves. Toward this goal the Foundation has established three funds to which individuals, corporations and foundations may contribute:

• Capital Needs Fund—Matches contributions with specific capital needs.

• Young Peoples’ Programming Initiative—Encourages new, child oriented performing arts and arts education activities at the center.

• New Programming Initiative—Encourages innovation and a broadening of the program offerings at the NSCPAS

Contributors to these funds at sponsorship levels have the opportunity to:

• Build a relationship with facility patrons

• Enhance their image as an active and vested supporter of the community.

• Obtain visibility on the Foundation’s website pages, printed materials and on facility signage (naming opportunities are available at specified levels

• Receive priority notice of special Foundation and facility events and VIP ticket service.
