Fundraising Tickets

Become A Fundraising Partner - The Criteria

In order to become a community fundraising partner and receive a family pack of 4 tickets to the Big Apple Circus for use as a fundraising tool, your organization must fulfill all of the following criteria:

Be a certified 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.
Be situated within and designed to serve the local community of one of the Big Apple Circus' performance locations. Visit Ticket+Tour Info for a list of our current venues or just select from the drop-down menu below. Please contact the presenting organization directly for information about ticket donations at these venues.
Be committed to serving the needs of kids and their families.
Be holding a fundraising event that occurs within six months of the performance dates in your area.
Be holding a live or silent auction at a fundraising event — we do not issue tickets to be auctioned online.

Limited Availability - Some Applications Are Declined

As a not-for-profit organization, the Big Apple Circus is forced to limit the number of auction donation requests we can fulfill each year. All of the funds that we raise are needed to support our own annual production and our five community programs to benefit hospitalized, economically disadvantaged, and sight and hearing-impaired children and the elderly. We therefore regret that we cannot offer free auction tickets to every eligible organization that applies.

If you have any questions about our Community Fundraising Partnership, please contact Lauri Berritta at lberritta@bigapplecircus.org.
