Growing the Annual Fund & Growing the Endowment

In addition to building a distinctive new facility, the Campaign includes a program to provide a steady increase in the Annual Fund over three years. As we all know, the Annual Fund fosters growth of arts in our city by providing additional annual operating support to arts organizations. This effort will seek to raise $9 million over three years.

Part three of our campaign involves the creation of an arts endowment fund to sustain the new Downtown Center for the Arts and to benefit the arts community for years to come. Five million dollars of the $26 million campaign will be dedicated to this effort.
