Corporate Giving and Sponsorship
Join our ever-growing community of corporations and local businesses!
From Corporate Giving to Corporate Sponsorships, there is always a place for your organization at Bard, no matter how you choose to support. By contributing in this meaningful way to Bard, corporations and local businesses subsidize the ongoing growth and expansion of the largest Shakespeare theatre company in Western Canada – both for our annual summer Festival and our year-round education initiatives. This includes:
- Presenting professional productions in our two specially designed theatre tents
- Reaching over 10,000 participants annually with 12+ annual Bard Education programs
- Providing employment for over 250 artists, designers, production, construction and operations staff
We are proud that Bard contributes to the destination-based tourism and culture industries in Vancouver and BC, attracting 100,000 patrons between June and September.
Looking for exclusive ways to engage with staff and clients this year? Stay connected with these special groups and let Bard host your next special digital event. Gather once again under the tents in Sen̓áḵw/Vanier Park.
Sponsorship includes a profile on Bard’s website, on-site and in our Festival marketing materials, as well as other benefits like performance tickets and opportunities to engage our growing audience. Each sponsorship package at Bard is tailor-made to suit your giving and marketing priorities. We welcome partnerships of all levels, so please contact us directly to discuss different options for upcoming seasons.
