Make giving easy
Become a Berkeley Rep Sustainer
Help sustain Berkeley Rep’s operations with an ongoing donation in support of the Annual Fund. Your gift will provide Berkeley Rep with a reliable source of ongoing financial support that helps us conserve our resources and devote them to the productions you enjoy each season. Plus, you’ll enjoy great donor perks all season long!
How it works
- Commit to an automatic credit card donation paid in monthly installments, in the amount you choose. Your first installment will be charged upon receipt. Your Sustainer contributions continue uninterrupted as long as you wish. You may contact us at any time to make a change.
- After your initial payment, your credit card will be automatically charged on the 15th of the month.
- For tax purposes, you’ll receive an acknowledgment after your first payment, and you will be sent a tax statement each year.
Become a Sustainer today and your gift will ensure innovative theatre and arts education for your community for generations to come!
If you have any questions about making a Sustainer gift, contact Kelsey Scott at 510 647–2906 or email give@berkeleyrep.org.

Double the impact of your gift!
Many Bay Area companies offer a matching gift program for their employees which can double, or even triple, your initial contribution. These programs are set up to allow employees to choose how their employer should direct its charitable giving within the community. Often, retired employees, directors, and spouses are also eligible to participate in the program.
Having your gift matched is simple. Visit your human resources office to retrieve a matching gift form. Complete it, and send it along with your gift to Berkeley Rep. We will notify your company of your contribution, and you can begin enjoying the benefits of a higher level of giving.
Berkeley Rep is grateful to the following companies who have supported the Theatre during the past few seasons by matching contributions of their employees.

Wish list for in-kind donations
Berkeley Rep accepts in-kind donations of products and used equipment that we can use on stage, in our offices, and in our guest artist and fellow apartments. The Theatre generally does not accept donations of clothes, costumes, or props because of space and storage limitations, and asks for you to include photos and dimensions of any furniture you would like to donate when making your offer for the same reason. We regret that we cannot accept all large-item donations.
Below is a short list of current needs. If you would like to help us out by donating any of these items, please call 510 647–2906 or email give@berkeleyrep.org. We are unable to pick up items but will gladly arrange a time for drop-offs.
