Spotlight on Giving

In Kind

Ed Leahy of The Chicago Flyhouse Inc. teaches at the Jay Glerum Rigging Masterclasses

Giving to any organization is often referred to as Time, Talent, and Treasure.In this space each month we highlight those people who give treasure to USITT to help us further our mission. Beginning this month we recognize another way of giving treasure, In-Kind Giving. USITT’s activities are often supported by individuals and corporations that donate goods, materials, and space, at cost or free that are, in giving parlance, IN KIND gifts.

We want to make sure that people recognize the full generosity of corporations and individuals as they help us meet the goals and mission of the Institute.To do so, we have added this category so we can bring attention to all of our donors each month.

- USITT Exec. Director David Grindle
