Building Brighter Futures!

Introducing the SPARK! Campaign to reignite kids' imagination and secure the future of MTC. After facing challenges in recent years, we're aiming to raise $1,000,000 by June 30, 2025. This campaign will strengthen our programs, retire debt, and build a sustainable future for MTC. Every contribution brings us closer to our goal and ensures we continue making a lasting impact!

You can be the SPARK! that ignites creativity, fosters understanding, and empowers the next generation to reach their full potential. 

 

“Attending Metro Theater productions strengthened my students’ love for reading. Seeing the books we read as a class on stage is a bonding experience for our classrooms. I highly recommend MTC to other teachers.”

- Layne Thompson, 4th Grade Teacher

A few days after the performance (of MTC’s education program, Say Something, Do Something!) a 7th grade student, who is well known for having issues with other students, helped to resolve a conflict between two of his classmates.

– Ronald London, School Counselor

How to Give

It’s easy to make a one-time, tax-deductible gift online here. If you’re looking for other ways to expand the impact of your support, you may want to consider these options:

  • Monthly Giving
    Sustaining monthly gifts ensure you can make a meaningful commitment to MTC that can easily fit in to any donor’s monthly budget.

  • Employer Matching
    Your employer might be among the many St. Louis’s largest corporate citizens with programs to match employee contributions. Employer matching doubles the impact of your gift and lets your company know how much you value our community impact. Check with your human resources department, and let us know if we can assist with any necessary paperwork.

  • Planned Giving
    If you would like to ensure MTC’s impact continues for generations to come, consider speaking with your financial advisor about including us in your estate plans. If you notify us of your plans, we can recognize that pledge and ensure you enjoy the benefits of supporting MTC, even before the gift is made.

  • Qualified Charitable Distributions
    Individual retirement arrangement (IRA) owners age 70½ or over can transfer up to $100,000 to charity tax-free each year. These transfers, known as qualified charitable distributions or QCDs, offer eligible Americans a great way to easily give to charity before the end of the year. And, for those who are at least 73 years old, QCDs count toward the IRA owner's required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. Any IRA owner who wishes to make a QCD for 2023 should contact their IRA trustee soon so the trustee will have time to complete the transaction before the end of the year!

  • Gift of Stock
    We welcome donations of stock and other securities. Donors may take a tax deduction for the full, fair-market value.

Donations can be made online, by phone, or by mail:
