Individual Giving - The Naples Players

Become a TNP Donor

Beyond sustaining our programs, TNP Fund donations enable us to aspire for more. From productions that wow our audiences to outreach programs that grow to meet the needs of our community, it is the partnership with our donors that completes the financial resources necessary to fulfill our promise to patrons, students, and the greater community.

Did you know that revenue from ticket sales is only a portion of what is necessary to operate our programs? TNP Fund gifts are essential to everything we do, and there are several ways you can give:

Ways to Donate



Direct Donations

Give online, donate in person, or contact our Development Director directly to make a one-time donation. If your employer offers a donation matching program, you can extend your gift even farther! Ask your employer today about matching gifts.

Recurring Donations

Break down your donation into monthly payments. You can choose to make a recurring donation via our online giving platform or by contacting us to set up a monthly withdrawal.
