ELIGIBILITY

We have established the following eligibility guidelines for organizations seeking ticket donations.

• Donation requests must be received at least four weeks in advance of the event date.
• Requests must be submitted via the online form—no emails, phone calls, or mailed letters.
• Priority is given to organizations that partner with or have a relationship with Opera Carolina.
• Organizations are eligible for a donation once per performance season (January 1–June 1, 2026). An organization cannot request a ticket donation multiple times within a performance season.
• Opera Carolina directly supports the causes and organizations themselves and does not donate to third-party fundraisers.
• Opera Carolina ticket donations are to be used for silent auctions only—no raffles or incentives.
• Opera Carolina does not support organizations that are religiously or politically affiliated.

HOW IT WORKS

Eligible organizations will request a ticket donation via the online form at least four weeks before their event. The contact person will receive an automatic email response confirming submission. A representative from Opera Carolina will respond via email within 10 business days. If the organization meets eligibility guidelines and ticket donation inventory is available, the response email will include a PDF donation certificate. This donation certificate consists of the performance, eligible dates/times, the value of the tickets, and the redemption deadline. The organization holds its silent auction, and the winner is given a certificate. The winner must follow the instructions on the donation certificate and redeem it by the redemption date.
