Double Your Impact: The September Challenge
We did it together! Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our community, we met our $10,000 match goal, unlocking $20,000 to power theater, music, and arts programs right here in Ely.
This campaign wasn’t just about numbers. Every single gift represented a vote of confidence in the idea that art belongs to everyone, no matter where you live.
Together, we’ve proven that Ely shows up for the arts and that the arts show up for Ely.
Thank you for believing in this work and in the creative future of our town.
