About ETC

At this time, we are not accepting grant applications.

ETC is committed to providing charitable support to the performing arts; the education, recognition and welfare of students and professionals employed in technical design of performing arts; the education and development of future leaders in technology; the benefit or betterment of communities and non-profit entities selected by ETC employees.

There are two types of philanthropic grants available, each requiring applicants to meet eligibility requirements and successfully complete the application process. The types of grants are:

• Equipment grants of new/used/refurbished ETC goods and gear
• Funding grants awarded by ETC’s Community Betterment Committee (CBC)

Equipment grants typically consist of small additions or enhancements to existing equipment or systems, such as a small fixture package or a low-to-mid-range control console. The retail value of such awards seldom exceeds $10,000. Please note: ETC is unable to fund complete lighting system packages or any awards that would require system commissioning or electrical upgrades. In addition, if the Corporate Giving office is unable to fund at least 50% of an equipment request, the grant will not be awarded.

Funding grants awarded through ETC’s Community Betterment Committee (CBC) are typically modest; requests that exceed $5,000 are seldom awarded. The committee meets twice annually (in May and November) to review and award grant requests.
