Individual giving

Mariposa’s work wouldn’t be possible without our generous friends and supporters. If you’ve enjoyed our events and projects in the past, and want to help us create more accessible programming in the future, please consider making a donation.

As a homegrown arts organization, every single dollar is transformational for our company – and to our network of emerging and underrepresented artists.

Note: donations to our Benefit + Awareness Month campaigns are gratefully accepted as well, and directly support the charitable cause! At this time, only donations to charity fundraisers are eligible for tax receipts.

DONATE

Prize donations

If you or your business have a possible prize donation for our next Benefit + Awareness Month, please reach out to info[at]operamariposa.com or contact us below by March 20, 2025. We are also happy to discuss possible sponsorship recognition for businesses and organizations.

Prizes we love to see: We’re prioritizing prizes that can be enjoyed at home, online, or possibly outdoors. This helps ensure our event is inclusive of community members who may be homebound, immunocompromised, and/or shielding. Bonus points for prizes that are easy to mail, or which can be delivered digitally!
Prizes we can’t accept: While we deeply appreciate all prize offers, at this time we aren’t able to accept medical or spiritual services or therapies as prizes, or to give away restricted goods including alcohol.

Thank you for your interest in joining us to support the chronic illness community!

Sponsorship

Partner with us to achieve your business and philanthropic goals, while investing in our community’s vibrant arts scene. As a Mariposa sponsor, you and your company will help foster the development of emerging, underrepresented and marginalized artists, while enhancing your company’s public profile and enjoying exclusive perks. Sponsorship packages can be tailored to your needs, and may include benefits such as high-visibility branding and publicity that reaches our diverse local, national and international audiences.

GET IN TOUCH

Two volunteers smile at the camera - on the left, an older woman with white-blonde shoulder length hair and glasses, wearing a black top and silver necklaces; on the right, a young woman with a brown fringe and large eyes, wearing a red bellhop uniform and black pillbox hat.

On the left, a large man of mixed racial heritage with brown and purple hair and a brown beard is wearing a wine red velvet 18th century suit with golden lace. On the right, a short Asian Canadian woman stands next to him, helping to adjust his white lace neck ruffles.

A young Asian Canadian woman dressed in a traditional Chinese outfit of pink and blue is standing still in the foreground. Behind her, a middle-aged Asian Canadian woman in casual clothing has her hands uplifted, carefully working on the first woman's intricate traditional updo, inserting golden filigree pins into it.

A black and white photo shows a white brunette woman leaning over an older Asian Canadian man, doing his makeup with a smile.
