ENDOWMENT

The goal of the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre’s Endowment Fund is to provide a perpetual base of support to assure the financial stability of the theatre. Gifts to the endowment may be made with an outright gift of cash, stocks & securities, retirement funds, life insurance, or qualified real and personal property.

The original endowment was established in 1986 by generous bequests received from the Hanchett and Whitehead Estates. Today, the endowment stands at $1.7 Million, which generates approximately 3% of the Civic’s Operational needs.

For more information about making a gift to the endowment, please contact us online or call our Development Office directly at (616)222-6020.
