Rider Friend of the Arts
Through our new Rider Friend of the Arts patron program, you can both enjoy upcoming select musical theater and dance performances while supporting students with financial need.

As a Rider Friend of the Arts, you will join a community of passionate supporters of the arts who ardently believe in Rider's talented students. With a gift of $150/individual or $300/couple or more, you can enjoy a unique relationship with Rider's Arts faculty and students, receiving benefits that include opportunities to meet our student artists and directors at our VIP receptions.
Rider is committed to providing critically important preparation to our Department of Performing Arts and Westminster Choir College students. Generous donors have helped provide support for theatre technology, production equipment and scholarships. As a patron, your contribution will support our Performing Arts Student Relief Fund that helps meet the performance needs of students with financial need, for example, providing support for “tools of the trade” such as music scores, dance shoes, transportation to auditions, or other expenses that help prepare students for their future professional careers. Or, funds may be directed to the Westminster Scholarship Fund or designated for other purposes.
The 2023 - 2024 Patron Program levels are...
Friend* - $300
Includes two complimentary tickets to four productions of your choice, recognition in our digital program and an invitation to one wine and cheese reception (*Single Friend of Rider Performing Arts available for $150).
Sponsor - $500
Includes four complimentary tickets to four productions of your choice, recognition in our digital program and an invitation to two wine and cheese receptions.
Benefactor - $1,000
Includes six complimentary tickets to four productions of your choice, recognition in our digital program, invitation to two wine and cheese receptions and premium seating at all other Rider Performing Arts productions and concerts.

Includes six complimentary tickets to four productions of your choice, recognition in our digital program, invitation to two wine and cheese receptions, premium seating at all other Rider Performing Arts productions and concerts and a pre- or post-performance discussion (to be scheduled with you) with College of Arts and Sciences leadership.
All proceeds benefit the Performing Arts Student Relief Fund unless otherwise noted. Gifts to Rider are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. Their deductibility may be reduced by the value of benefits received.
