Capital Challenge Grant

We have a one time opportunity to almost completely pay off our mortgage. Don and Kate Wilson have generously offered to help pay off the remaining debt.  Goal: $500,000 by June 30, 2008 Contributions raised to date: $405,950 Make a gift today!

If we raise $500,000 between now and June 30, Kate and Don will match that amount!

We must move quickly because the $500,000 must be contributed or pledged by June 30, 2008. We are asking you to consider helping us because, with this offer, new contributions will be doubled immediately. This will allow us to greatly reduce or perhaps even eliminate our $14,000 monthly mortgage payments.

Think for a moment about the even greater things we’d be able to do with our arts education and programming.

Please keep in mind that we are asking for this extra support in addition to what you may contribute on an annual basis, such as being a BackStage member.  As we work to pay off the mortgage, we must keep the lights on and the other programs going. Every gift makes a difference!
