How It Works

Patron Rewards is a free dining benefit that gives audience members cash back on tickets, subscriptions, memberships and classes when they dine out at participating restaurants. As a cause marketing program, we also contribute directly to enrolled arts organizations every time audience members eat out.

Unlike other funding sources, Patron Rewards directly supports audience participation. You keep 100% of the funds raised, and the program is completely free for both arts organizations and their audiences. Learn more about the benefits.
