Make a donation.

The Kaufherr Resource Center is an independent, non-profit 501(c)3 organization.

The tools of a working performer don’t come without a price tag!

  • $500 supports one hour in the Video Suite

  • $1,000 supports general operating needs year round

  • $1,200 supports a year of professional development workshops and seminars

Additional ways to give…

 

  • Make your check payable to Kaufherr Members Resource Center and mail it to:

    The Kaufherr Resource Center

    1 East Erie Street, Suite 660

    Chicago, IL 60611

  • Just like our namesake Jerry Kaufherr, you can donate a gift in your will or living trust. By including a bequest in your will or living trust you are helping us continue to assist performers for years to come.

    Talk with a financial advisor for professional guidance on how to make this possible and email us at staff@thekaufherrcenter.org.

  • Have your donation provide twice the impact. Find out if your employer offers any Employee Match Programs, where your company may match your charitable donation one-to-one, two-to-one, or even three-to one.

    If you’re unsure your employer has such a program you can contact your Human Resource Department or search an online database such as: https://doublethedonation.com/matching-gift-database/ .

  • An In-Kind Donation refers to any donation to a non-profit that is non-monetary. These donations can include anything from goods to services to expertise.

    Some goods the KRC is in constant need of include:

    • Common office supplies (paper, ink, staplers, pens, etc.)

    • Beverage Station Resupply (coffee pods, tea, sugar, cups, napkins, etc.)

    • Audio and video equipment (microphones, interfaces, amps, lights, etc.)

    Email staff@thekaufherrcenter.org to inquire about potential tax deduction claims for your donations.

  • Join our list of volunteers! We are always looking to add to our ever-growing list of volunteers. Volunteers may be asked to assist performers as readers or help facilitate KRC events and events held in the KRC.
