Donate to What if Puppets

Our vision is to use puppetry to enhance the lives of people across the country– and we've done just that!

Thanks to your support and donations, we can make critical investments in our programming and staff to continue to bring the magic of puppets to children.

  • Obtain resources to create new touring shows

  • Provide the means to safely transport our puppet shows to schools, libraries, and art centers, both locally and nationally
