Individual Giving

Your Gift Makes More Possible

People who give to Midland Center make more possible: performances on our stages, discovery in the Hall of Ideas, classes and camps, community ensembles and access for students across the region. Ticket and admission revenue cover only part of the cost. Annual gifts help close the gap.

Circle of Friends

Circle of Friends recognizes the donors whose annual support keeps our work moving. Members receive benefits based on giving level, with more ways to engage with performances, programs and the Center.
