The Robert Natti Fund
Catalyst for Strategic Growth
at Gloucester Stage
In his many roles as teacher, guidance counselor, and principal in the Gloucester school system, Robert was a man with warm wisdom that provided a positive influence on many in the Cape Ann community.
The Robert Natti Fund is intended to be a continuing resource to invest in the strategic future of Gloucester Stage and unlock the full potential of the Company’s mission across Cape Ann and the broader performing arts community.
Private Donor Sponsorships
Individuals or Families who contribute at the PRODUCER Giving Circle are champions of our mission and are publicly recognized for their support.
Patrons who are passionate about theatrical arts are needed to underwrite the costs of producing the high caliber, socially relevant, and intellectually stimulating plays at Gloucester Stage each Season. The cost of each production is over $75k, but with ticket sales, grants, advertisers, and wise fiscal management, donations of $15,000 and above provide the capital necessary for presenting these powerful live stories onstage.
To make a contribution at this level, please reach out to Managing Director Christopher Griffith or Director of Development Susan d. Garvey at 978-281-4099
