For many children, the only opportunity they have to visit arts and cultural organizations is through organized school trips.  Unfortunately, many schools, especially those serving low-income communities, are finding it more difficult to afford the cost of field trips. To fill this need we created the Field Trip Sponsorship Program to ensure that children of all backgrounds have the opportunity to experience the unique learning opportunities at the Center for Puppetry Arts.

Your tax-deductible gift of $25, $50, $100, $500, $1,000 or more ensures that all children have the opportunity to participate in our programming regardless of their economic circumstances. All three programming areas at the Center for Puppetry Arts (performance, puppet-making workshops and museum) meet Georgia Pre-K Bright from the Start Content Standards and Georgia Performance Standards, helping teachers to meet their learning objectives in a fun and entertaining way.

Many schools depend on our Field Trip Sponsorship Program to offset the costs of their educational field trip to the Center.  We need your help to provide 70,000 free and deeply discounted tickets each year to organizations serving low-income and other underserved children.

Museum Collection
The Center for Puppetry Arts Museum generally accepts donations of puppets only if it intends to accession them into its collections. The Museum must be very selective out of necessity to ensure that objects acquired are appropriate to the collection's mission statement and can be properly cared for and displayed. A sub-committee formed from our Museum Advisory board will be the deciding factor in accepting Museum pieces. Fractional interest in an object, whereby the donor retains a percentage of ownership, is not acceptable. Both the donor and an authorized representative of the Center must sign a deed of gift for transferring full ownership of the item(s) to the Center. There are numerous considerations for both donors and the museum in arranging a gift.

All inquiries regarding gifts to Center for Puppetry Arts are completely confidential. For further information about donating gifts or bequests of objects, please contact the Curator of Exhibits at 404.881.5128.
