About Us

Patron Rewards is a private social enterprise driven by a unique public service mission – ensuring that families enjoy greater access to arts and cultural opportunities. Simply put, our goal is to increase support of the arts by making it more affordable for everyone.

To accomplish this, we're bringing arts organizations together with businesses to create a new source of arts funding that underwrites the cost of attending local arts events in communities throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

With their share of corporate contributions down more than a quarter in the last 5 years, arts and cultural organizations across America have awakened to a different world. Traditionally dependent on grants and public subsidies, arts groups are increasingly aware of the role earned income must now play in diversifying revenue sources and improving sustainability.

As a socially responsible company, we believe the best way to help is by making it profitable, not just philanthropic, for local business to support the arts. We're making a difference because everybody wins: families get free tickets and admission; arts organizations boost audience participation and funding; and businesses reach and drive sales with their most valuable customers - the cultural consumer.
