Herman B Wells broke ground on IU Auditorium in 1938, establishing a legacy that continues to inspire us today as we honor the meaningful experiences that occur at the intersection of art and education. The impact of a gift to the IU Auditorium Fund reaches so many by:

Presenting Artistry
With your help, IU Auditorium creates engaging, world-class arts and event experiences at IU. From Bloomington favorites like Straight No Chaser to Tony-award-winning Broadway tours, gifts to the IU Auditorium Fund make a difference in the lives of all who walk through the doors of IU Auditorium.

Inspiring Our Youth
Through annual programs like Kids Night on Broadway and Give the Magic, gifts to the IU Auditorium Fund have allowed thousands of children in our community to experience the inspirational power of the performing arts—many for the first time. It only takes one performing arts experience to make a difference in young hearts and minds. Gifts to the IU Auditorium Fund take access to performing arts a step further, creating meaningful, artistic, and educational experiences that will last a lifetime.

Encouraging Student Growth
Annually, IU Auditorium is home to over 400 student workers and volunteers. Your gifts provide opportunities for these students to receive on-the-job practical skills, career-building workshops, and support through mentorship. You ensure IU Auditorium remains a place of belonging during their time at IU.

With a gift to the IU Auditorium Fund today, your generosity will reach into the lives of others, creating opportunities for learning and growth.
