Family Sustainer Program

We are excited to share our 2021 -2022 season marked Wheelock Family Theatre’s 40th year of creating inclusive, accessible, professional theater for all! 

In celebration of the life, the legacy and in support of the future of Wheelock Family Theater, we are pleased to announce our new Family Sustainer Program!

Our Family Sustainers are a special group of donors that will invest in the mission and values of WFT through a recurring monthly donation. Beginning on March 5th, you can make a small, automatic donation every month, which makes it easier for WFT to plan long-term, budget more efficiently, and create more effective change. You choose how much to give and for how long, and you can change your amount or cancel at any time.

In honor of our 40th year, we’re asking you to consider a monthly gift of $40.

Please note: You will be re-directed to a Boston University landing page.

Individual Giving

Wheelock Family Theatre is committed to bringing the transformative power of theatre within the reach of all youth in the greater Boston area. We hope you will consider a gift to help support making more unique arts opportunities available.

Each year WFT is able to offer more than $100,000 in tuition assistance and scholarships for our Education Classes. That support for students, as well as making productions like our recent virtual workshop of Make Way for Ducklings free, is thanks, in large part, to the generosity of our extended family. All of us at WFT thank you for participating and sharing in the magic of theatre.
