Everwood's Pay-What-You-Can ticket price is simple - choose your ticket price from the options provided. One-half of your ticket price will be provided to the artists and the other half will be distributed through Everwood's Aspiring Artists Fund. The Fund provides grants to arts-focused teachers in Barron, Dunn, Pepin, Pierce, Polk and St. Croix counties for projects that spark wonder and talent in their young, aspiring artists. Everwood reveals a recipient(s) at each performance. Since 2012, the Foundation has donated almost $44,000 to local school programs.

Each ticket will include a nominal booking "fee" (which pays for the ticket platform) and each transaction will include a "transaction charge" (which pays for the credit card fees). Tickets are transferable, but not refundable.
