Our Sponsors
Our sponsors are a critical part of our programming. They understand the importance of the arts in our community and they provide the financial backing to help our organization thrive. Hundreds of lives are touched every year through their generosity.
The tuition that we bring in for our programming does not cover even 50% of our operating costs. Our sponsors, literally, keep our organization running. Spotlight Performance Academy is a 501c3 non-profit organization and 100% of your donation is tax deductible.
