Donations and Sponsorships

Black Hills Community Theatre is incorporated in South Dakota as a not for profit organization and is recognized by the IRS as a tax exempt 501(c)(3) entity.  Donations to assist in the programming and operations of BHCT are tax deductible as allowed by law and gratefully accepted. 

Revenue from ticket sales makes up only about 30 percent of the amount that it takes for Black Hills Community Theatre to mount our shows and do our community programming.  Some of the money comes from grants, but the biggest part comes from the incredibly generous individuals who make financial contributions and from businesses in the Black Hills which support our main stage productions through financial sponsorships.
