“I’ve got an idea by the tail, but it falls in your department. What's to prevent you setting up a Childrens Theatre Foundation, to which we can all make deductible contributions each year; to which some of us might even leave bequests?”

September 17, 1957 in a letter from Sara Spencer to Campton Bell*, each became CTFA Founders. *(Qtd. in Roger L. Bedard and C. John Tolch, eds., Spotlight on the Child)

The Childrens Theatre Foundation is guided by a working board of trustees, professionals in the field of theatre and education, who donate their time and expertise to raise philanthropic funds to support excellence in theatre arts.
