WHY donate to new west theatre
It’s been an incredible journey for us over the last 30+ years, and we couldn’t have done it without your enthusiastic support. You all are the reason we’re able to keep bringing quality productions to our community year after year.
For less than the price of a cup of coffee a day, you can help support the longevity of New West Theatre. Your support of Theatre in Lethbridge is paramount – we understand that most people don’t have the ability to give large donations all at once, but a small monthly donation creates a long-term, lasting impact on our organization. With a regular monthly donation income, we can start planning bigger productions, pay our artists professional wages, and create sustainability for many years to come!
Monthly giving is a budget-friendly way to spread your support throughout the year and make a transformational gift to New West Theatre. Monthly donations also reduce our administrative costs for items like postage, paper, and printing. This means more of your donation is used to make incredible theatre, pay artists for their work, and present important stories on stage!
For more information about contributing to the success of New West Theatre, contact Sheri Becker, Executive Director at 403-381-9378 ext. 103 or email sheri@newwesttheatre.com . Once you’re a donor, you can adjust your pre-authorized donation any time. Just email Sheri we’ll gladly change the amount or your schedule.

is 5% enough?
Did you know that the most successful non-profits receive donations that make up to 30% of their income? Currently, we are at less than 5%. As a local non-profit & charity, less than 5% of our total annual income comes from donations.
5% is amazing, but it’s not quite enough. Our target is to increase our annual donations to 15% – this will help ensure that New West Theatre remains sustainable in Lethbridge for a very long time, continuing to provide quality entertainment, support our community, and employ our performers..
If 5% isn’t enough, how can you, our audience, help?
Our goal is to reach $10,000 in ongoing, monthly donors. We know what you’re thinking, that seems impossible! But if 400 supporters just like you gave $25 per month, that would help build a legacy that could last a lifetime – all for less than a cup of coffee a day!
