Donations
The Grand comes from, and is an integral part of, its community. Our mission is to offer cultural, educational and entertaining programming that reflects and engages the community from which we draw our support.
We are very grateful to our community for their support; whether that is as patrons, performers, volunteers, sponsors or advertisers – however, revenues from programming cover only a proportion of our operating costs – so, to allow us to successfully deliver our mission, we are always grateful for financial donations .
Please consider making a donation –
And remember – The Grand is a tax exempt non-profit organization under section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Hancock County Auditorium Associates, tax ID # 01-0332058) and subject to your tax filing circumstances, any donation you make is tax deductible to the extent the law allows.
If you have a particular interest or preference, you can also choose to direct the use of your donation – that’s really OK with us!! We have some specific funds to which your donation can be applied.
- Children’s Education
- Projector Fund
- Sound System Fund
- Performing Arts Fund
- Technology Fund
If you are making an online donation, and you want to direct your donation, just leave a note in the field on the credit card payment page.
