The Donmar Warehouse moves online

The Donmar Warehouse theatre was forced to close due to the Covid-19 pandemic, moving their performances online and raising thousands! 

The Challenge

Theatre shut due to lockdown

The Covid-19 Pandemic meant the Donmar Warehouse theatre was forced to close its doors, and their fundraising plans had to change.

They were reliant on ticket sales for nearly 50% of their income, and now that performances were streamed on Youtube or Vimeo, they needed to find a way to bring in financial support.

The Solution

Virtual performances save the day

Each performance directed supporters to their Text Giving campaign, which provided a quick and easy way for audiences to donate and show their support.

Text Giving allowed for very easy tracking which was very important for the Donmar to track how successful each initiative was. 

“I would definitely recommend Donr as a brilliant way to solicit donations. It definitely helped us raise money during this difficult time.”
