Support the Arts at IWU


The Theatre Guild
Patron Program

If you love the performing arts as much as President Jon and Lena Kulaga — musicals, plays, or special guest performances – consider being part of this special initiative to support world-changing, performing arts at Indiana Wesleyan University.

Your one-time, or on-going contributions will provide resources that help make IWU theatrical events in the Phillippe Performing Arts Center mainstage, Baker Recital Hall, and Black Box Theatre a gem in Northeastern Indiana. You can partner with the Kulagas to support the next generation of IWU students and bless our region with vital resources. Below are IWU’s tiers of giving.
