Why Make a Donation?
For 25 years, philanthropy has been at the heart of Porte Parole’s identity. Our organization has been able to grow, innovate, and promote documentary theatre because of the loyal support of donors and foundations who deeply believe in our mission.
Their trust has enabled us to develop a rigorous, wide-ranging artistic approach capable of exploring major social issues and creating essential spaces for dialogue.
For a quarter of a century, every production has been built on this philanthropic commitment.
Without it, our work could not exist.
Your generous donations allow us to:
- Create, produce, and distribute vibrant, insightful, and accessible documentary works that stimulate reflection, spark dialogue, and foster collective conversations
- They also make possible the entire process that supports each creative project: field research, creative labs, the development of works, the rollout of the Documentary Hub and the ABC, public events, the dissemination of content, and knowledge transfer—an essential continuum that ensures the depth, relevance, and impact of our artistic approach.
By supporting Porte Parole, you help strengthen the presence of a socially conscious theatre that creates spaces for dialogue and actively participates in democratic life.
Thank you for believing in Porte Parole’s mission!
Ways to Donate
Porte Parole offers several ways to support its mission so that everyone can contribute according to their circumstances. Whether it’s a one-time, monthly, or annual donation, a major gift, securities, or life insurance—each option plays an essential role in the vitality of our documentary theatre. We remain fully flexible and available to work with donors to find the option that best aligns with their intentions and their ability to give.
Please note that we issue tax receipts for donations of $25 or more.
One-Time Donation
A one-time contribution that makes a real difference. Your immediate donation supports ongoing documentary production and helps bring our projects to life where they are needed most.
Monthly Donation
Support us year-round, at your own pace. A monthly donation provides a stable financial foundation that helps us plan, support artists, and foster ongoing discourse.
Yearly Donation
An annual philanthropic event. Your annual contribution allows us to plan our season, carry out our projects, and ensure the continuity of our commitment throughout Quebec.
Major Donation
A meaningful commitment with a significant impact. A major donation directly contributes to the development of large-scale documentary theatre projects and paves the way for new community-driven initiatives.
Donation of Securities
A simple, beneficial, and sustainable gesture. Donating stocks, bonds, or mutual funds eliminates capital gains tax while providing you with a full tax receipt for the value of the donation. A tax-efficient way to support our mission.
Planned Donation
A powerful philanthropic legacy. By choosing to include Porte Parole in your estate planning—whether through a bequest in your will, designating it as the beneficiary or owner of a life insurance policy, or any other philanthropic vehicle—you are making a lasting impact.
The Benefits of Making Your First Major Donation to the Arts
Did you know that in Quebec, your first major donation to the arts entitles you to an additional 25% tax credit?
In fact, thanks to the First Major Cultural Donation Program, you could get back up to nearly 75% of the amount donated for an initial donation of $5,000 to $25,000 to a cultural organization like Porte Parole. Your donation therefore has a significant impact on us, while representing a much more affordable cost than it might seem.
| Donation Amount | Total Tax Credit (including the additional 25%) | Real Donation Cost* |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $3,873.69 | $1,126.31 |
| $1,000 | $7,788.94 | $2,211.06 |
| $15,000 | $11,704.19 | $3,295.81 |
| $20,000 | $15,619.44 | $4,380.56 |
| $25,000 | $19,524.69 | $5,465.31 |

Partnerships & Sponsorships
A sponsorship allows your company to associate its brand with promising artistic projects and events that foster civic dialogue.
It also helps raise your brand’s profile and highlight your values—to the benefit of your customers and employees—by positioning you at the heart of cultural initiatives with a strong social impact.
We develop customized partnerships: strategic visibility, exclusive experiences, VIP hospitality, meet-and-greets with artists, and integration into our public events.
