The work Lamb's Players does on the resident stage, in the schools, and throughout the community would not be possible without the commitment of the individuals, corporations, and foundations that make up Lamb's Players Family by providing financial support. The generosity of these people and organizations has allowed us to:

• Reach more than 36,000 students each year through our Educational Outreach
• Remain the third largest theatre in San Diego County
• Maintain the region's only year-round repertory company
• Maintain a commitment to PlayWork, the development of new scripts

The Endowment Trust
for Lamb's Players Theatre

In 1997, The Endowment Trust was established by the Board of Trustees to ensure the long-term financial stability of Lamb's Players Theatre and its programs.

A separate Board of Trustees governs the Endowment Trust, and the investment and financial advisory firm of Dowling and Yahnke, Inc. independently manages its funds.

Within the trust is a special fund, which supports LPT's Educational Programs.
The Mary-Lynn Deddeh Fund for Kids was established to provide tickets for students to attend live theatre and to provide LPT's educational programs in area schools. (Mary-Lynn has been an educator and encourager of young people her entire adult life. She is a long-time Lamb's Players Board Member and volunteer extraordinaire.)

In association with San Diego Foundation - Endow San Diego, Lamb's Players also offers opportunities for Gift Annuities, which provide you with lifetime income while supporting the future of Lamb's Players Theatre.

Does your company have a matching gift program?

In-Kind Gifts
We are often asked if we accept gifts of furniture, clothing, household items, etc. The answer is yes...and no.

Yes, we are interested in costume accessories (gloves, hats, purses, jewelry, etc.) and vintage clothing (1960s and before).

Yes, we are interested in some household items, including furniture, if it is something we feel we can use. We seldom accept large items: sofas, beds, etc., as they take a lot of space in our storage area. But there are exceptions.

No, we are not interested in taking away every item in your Aunt Addie's attic.

If you have items you think we might be interested in, please contact Donor Relations and tell us what you would like to donate. We will arrange to have someone look at the items (especially furniture) to determine if we can use it or not. We will then arrange to pick the items up (if they are large) or ask you to bring them to us.

Donated items will be acknowledged with a letter you can use for tax purposes. We cannot, however, place a value on items you donate.
