Corporate Giving & Sponsorships | Ways to Give

Northeast Indiana is standing at a pivotal crossroads, and our ability to reach our community’s aspirations has reached a critical tipping point. Together, we seek to spur the kind of entrepreneurial creative development that will put Fort Wayne on the map as a hub for innovative thinking, creative place making, and quality opportunity for emerging talent both within and outside of the arts industry. We are grateful for these gifts as your business’s commitment to elevating the quality of life for every individual in our community.

Sponsor the Arts United Awards

The 16th annual Arts United Awards presentation will take place in 2024 at the Arts United Center.

As the anchor of our seven-venue Arts Campus Fort Wayne, the Arts United Center is an internationally acclaimed architectural icon. It hosts many community events annually in addition to being the home stage for the Fort Wayne Ballet, Fort Wayne Civic Theatre, and Fort Wayne Youtheatre.
