Funding the Performing Arts
The Civic Center Foundation was started to be a local partner to the VMCCC in expanding the cultural, artistic, educational, and economic power in the region. The Foundation provides community members the opportunity to collectively support the VMCCC beyond ticket purchases or event attendance.
Generosity is the fuel that powers the success of the Civic Center. From generous individuals and companies giving funds, to generous volunteers giving time, the VMCCC continues to benefit the region because our community’s charitable heart has proven unstoppable over the years.
Why It's Important
Hundreds of thousands pass through our doors every year. Every visitor, volunteer, staff member, board member, dancer, singer, artist, performer, student, parent, teacher, tour member, journalist, conductor, orchestra member, sponsor, and community partner has experienced this generosity.
Today, the Veterans Memorial Civic & Convention Center stands as a community pillar and cultural hub. The Civic Center Foundation and our supporters ensure it upholds this standing to inspire more generations to come.
