Did you know that members are at the heart of Wolf Trap Foundation’s mission? Member contributions support all that Wolf Trap does—sustaining the caliber and accessibility of performances, developing arts-learning programs, training the next generation of opera artists, and providing the community with a setting for all to enjoy. When you become a member, you not only receive all the benefits Wolf Trap has to offer, but you become part of the Foundation’s family. Explore why a Wolf Trap membership is perfect for you:  

1. Bring High-Quality Arts and Education Programs to Your Community

Donations from membership help deliver high-quality, diverse, and innovative programming to Wolf Trap’s stages. Membership contributions also support Wolf Trap’s education programs and the Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts, which embraces arts integration and active learning for children through hands-on professional development for early childhood educators. Your membership contribution can impact tens of thousands of children, parents, teachers, and caregivers across the region and make a difference in countless lives. Bonus: Wolf Trap Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, and your gift may be tax-deductible! 

2. Enjoy Insider Access

Wolf Trap members gain access to behind-the-scenes opportunities from exclusive events and insider information to discounts, VIP experiences, and more! Benefits vary by membership level, so you can choose the membership that is right for you! 

3.  Purchase Tickets Early 

Wolf Trap members enjoy robust benefits, and one of the most beloved is presale ticket access.  Members at select levels can buy tickets before the public, guaranteeing access to the best seats to see your favorite artists before performances sell out.  Members at the Curtain Raiser-level and above receive significant discounts on ticket fees during presales. And ALL members are eligible for ticket exchanges—an exclusive perk!  

4. Connect with Other Arts Lovers

Members have several opportunities to meet and connect with each other throughout the year at performances, member dinners, and special events. Many members also choose to get more involved by volunteering for Wolf Trap Foundation. Volunteering is a benefit of membership, and in addition to giving back to the community, volunteers enjoy several perks including special events and free tickets. Volunteers serve in a variety of roles and play a vital part at Wolf Trap all year long.  

Each member, at every level, is integral to making Wolf Trap what it is today.  For more information on how to become a Wolf Trap member, visit wolftrap.org/membership.
