It is no secret that Yuma is quickly growing in population and is becoming a more frequently noticed city. New homes continue to be built, shopping options are increasing, schools are improving and modifying, and the entertainment options are becoming more diversified. In short, Yuma is ready to fully bloom - and that is where our organization, and you, come into the picture.

Desert Pointe Productions was formed to provide quality education and artistic entertainment on a pre-professional level to the Yuma community and in addition, provide scholarship opportunities for the artistic development of individual artists. You are probably thinking that there are already several performing arts studios in Yuma, so why is this organization any different. Desert Pointe Productions is organized exclusively for educational purposes under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. That means that the organization is strictly funded on sponsorship, not membership or tuition fees, or other official assistance. The complete production, as well as scholarships, are funded by sponsors. What sets Desert Pointe Productions apart from the other artistic endeavors in Yuma is that, as a nonprofit organization, Desert Pointe Productions is designed to promote four main goals in the Yuma community. These four goals are:

To provide artists of all disciplines (i.e., dancers, singers, actors, painters, musicians) the opportunity to appreciate, learn, perform, and grow in a supportive and creative environment.
To provide scholarships to community members for the furthering of talent capabilities and education.
To make the arts interesting on a pre-professional level and accessible to the residents of the greater Yuma area.
To present the Yuma community with one artistic production a year.

The Board of Directors and the directors of Desert Pointe Productions are all local citizens of Yuma, many being born and raised here. All believe in the future of the arts in Yuma and providing encouragement to the artists that reside here by providing them with a venue to use their talents, and the opportunity to further their abilities through scholarships. More importantly, by providing the means to achieve artistic excellence, Desert Pointe Productions, along with the many artists involved, provide a service to the Yuma community. Just imagine being able to attend a theatrical performance of the same quality one would find in a much larger city. The opportunity for cultural enrichment, right here in Yuma! The availability of quality entertainment such as Desert Pointe Productions will present is an option people consider when they compare reasons to either stay in Yuma or to move to Yuma. Desert Pointe Productions, with the support of sponsors like you, can help complete the needs of Yuma residents, both performers and patrons.

The foundation of Desert Pointe Productions is a set of core values that support their desire to bring the best to Yuma. These include:

Quality and excellence in arts education
Individuality of artists, as well as team work
Accessibility and affordability of the arts to all
Respect and appreciation of all art forms
Performance as an educational tool
Scholarship opportunity

As you can see the goals and values of Desert Pointe Productions are focused entirely on both enabling artists as well as providing a service for Yuma, but to do this it needs funding. Working together, you as a sponsor and us as the vehicle to make it happen, we can bring a bit of happiness, and culture to our wonderful community. Having this opportunity close to home will alter the lives of all those both directly and indirectly involved.

What we are offering you at this time is an opportunity to partner with us to help build a production company that will grow into a premier showcase for all those that desire the opportunity to develop their talents and watch their dreams come alive, as well as entertain and culturally educate the members of the Yuma community.

This is a key opportunity for you as a premier sponsor, working hand in hand with Desert Pointe Productions, to help begin a new tradition, a new educational opportunity, even a new respect for the performing arts and the uplift it can bring to a community. The time is right in Yuma for a cultural opportunity such as Desert Pointe Productions offers. We encourage you to please take the time to review and return the Bravo Club sponsor form available on this website, as the success of Desert Pointe Productions depends on our partnership with our sponsors.

We look forward to your response and welcoming you to the Desert Pointe Production family!
