We need just $100,000 to meet the $1,000,000 match!

Things are looking a bit different at The Grand Theater nowadays! We are so excited about this construction progress, and we’re even MORE excited about a new boost in our fundraising efforts.

  • Your $5 gift = $10

  • Your $50 gift = $100

  • Your $500 gift = $1,000

Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, every gift made to the campaign from this point forward will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $1 million. This means your support will have TWICE the impact!

Whether you’re naming a seat, increasing a previous pledge, or donating a $1 bill, your gift will now go twice as far. Thank you for supporting the next century of The Grand!
