Purchase Tax Credits →

The New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA) offers a unique program that allows businesses to support high-impact community development projects—like Phase I of the Theatre UP Capital Campaign to renovate the Masonic Temple —in exchange for a substantial state tax credit.



Top Benefits for Your Business

When your business purchases tax credits:



  • 75% of your contribution (“purchase” amount) is credited directly against your NH Business Profits Tax and/or Business Enterprise Tax liability.
  • The remaining 25% is a charitable contribution, eligible for federal deduction.

Example: A $10,000 contribution results in:

  • $7,500 in NH state tax credits
  • Up to $625 in federal tax savings (assuming 25% corporate tax rate)
  • Your true cost: approximately $1,875

Sponsor a Show

Theatre UP seeks out corporate sponsorships every year to help underwrite the cost of our productions, make participation free to cast and crew, and keep ticket prices reasonable for patrons. The average cost of a large musical is $35,000, and support is essential if we are to provide the North Country with exceptional theatre. Sponsorship opportunities come with many perks including expansive advertising and complimentary tickets.  We'd love to spread the word about your business or organization and welcome you & your friends to the show! Contact the Executive Director for more details.
