Funding Plans
Seat Pledges
We plan to raise €100,000 through the sale/sponsorship of 100 seats in the theatre. We are appealing to businesses and individuals in the community to pledge €1000 per seat. For this donation the sponsor will receive the following:
Your Company or Personal name on the seat sponsored
Three years free membership of the Great Island Theatre (Details of Membership benefits to be detailed later but will include early access to seats to all shows at a reduced rate)
