Rider Friend of the Arts

As a Rider Friend of the Arts, you will join a community of passionate supporters of the arts who ardently believe in Rider's talented students. With a gift of $150/individual or $300/couple or more, you can enjoy a unique relationship with Rider's Arts faculty and students, receiving benefits that include opportunities to meet our student artists and directors at our VIP receptions.

Rider is committed to providing critically important preparation to our Department of Performing Arts and Westminster Choir College students. Generous donors have helped provide support for theatre technology, production equipment and scholarships. As a patron, your contribution will support our Performing Arts Student Relief Fund that helps meet the performance needs of students with financial need, for example, providing support for “tools of the trade” such as music scores, dance shoes, transportation to auditions, or other expenses that help prepare students for their future professional careers. Or, funds may be directed to the Westminster Scholarship Fund or designated for other purposes.
