CYT Portland is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides training in the area of theater arts to children ages 4-18 and relies largely on public support.
It is our desire not to turn away any child who earnestly wants to participate in our program. We are pleased to offer financial assistance to families who would not otherwise be able to participate.
Applications must be submitted 2 weeks before class registration opens. Applications submitted after that time will be considered, if sponsorship funds are available. Applications submitted after the initial consideration deadline should allow 5 business days for a response.
Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis involving need, funds availability, prior assistance offered, and the family’s willingness to “give back” to the program with their unique gifting and talents.
It is our goal to approve as many sponsorships as possible, but application does not guarantee approval.
*Note: Families must complete a sponsorship request with current employment information for each session they request assistance. If there is more than one parent/guardian in the household, the Co-Applicant financial information is required in order for the Sponsorship award to be considered. Sponsorship awards are non-transferable and do not apply to production fees. Sponsorship policies are subject to change at any time.
