Balboa Theatre Grant Fund
Support the next generation of performers by donating to the Balboa Theatre Grant Fund. Your contribution provides funding for local nonprofit arts organizations to perform on a professional stage. Together, we make the arts more accessible, inclusive, and alive in San Diego.
The Balboa Theatre Grant Fund was established to support performance opportunities for local, non-profit organizations at the Balboa Theatre. Through a competitive process, grant awards are provided to help underwrite the cost of building rent, production and related costs to make hosting their event at the Balboa Theatre more affordable and ensure the Theatre remains accessible to local San Diego arts organizations.
You can read more about the organizations chosen to receive funding from the FY26 Balboa Theatre Grant Fund here.
