What we aim to solve
The Sandler Center Foundation's goal is to make the performing arts accessible to all. The performing arts is a window to different cultures and a form of expression through voice, dance, and other forms of creativity. It can be used as a teaching method, to open minds and tap into an audience's emotions. Attending a performing arts venue is an experience that the Foundation believes benefits its community, and the Foundation wants that opportunity available to residents and guests, despite income level.

The Sandler Center Foundation's goal is to provide opportunities for the community, despite age, income level, race, gender or sexual orientation, to attend a performing arts event at the Sandler Center designed to educate, inspire and enrich.
The Sandler Center Foundation has developed programs and partnerships that, along with the support of our generous donors, support the mission and contribute to the Foundation educating, inspiring and enriching the lives of community members.
Donor stewardship and community networking are the tried and true methods for many non-profits to meet their goals. The Sandler Center Foundation is no exception to this rule. The Foundation keeps its donors and community members involved through many hosted events, newsletters, and other social media outlets. Our donors are welcome to stop by any time!
Their are many ways to measure the success of our programs. They include:
1) participant feedback
2) meeting fundraising goals
3) establishing partnerships and collaborations
The Sandler Center Foundation has accomplished the following: 1) The Education Program serves over 20,000 Pre-K through 8th grade students annually. The students attend matineess at the Sandler Center, which are SOL-aligned and include character development opportunities, and students are able to interact with the hands-on STEAM exhibit presented through the U.S. Navy's STEM Lab Learning Days. 2) Provide funding for over 11,000 students annually to see an educational matinee! 3) Nine Resident Companies receive support through the Local Heroes program, as well as the families of first responders, military service members, and Gold Star Families! 4) Provide sensory-friendly evening performances at no charge for individuals with special needs and their families and caretakers. 5) Underwrite major performances and support resident companies through the Giving Circle. The Sandler Center Foundation will continue to provide the above programming and is open to partnerships that have a similar mission to educate, inspire and enrich through performing arts opportunities.
