SUPPORTERS
To all Allendale Civic Theatre Patrons,
We are pleased and excited as the Allendale Civic Theatre begins its Fifth season. We have been amazed at the community support we have received to bring the theatre alive in Allendale.
We have just learned that we are have been awarded the 501(c)3 non-profit status and so we officially are a
non-profit theatre!
We applied for this status because we felt the support was there to be self sustaining and we continue to grow in the Allendale Community. In addition, we have seen the sincere desire for the community to have a local theatre and finally, it has been our strong desire to continue to bring the Arts to Allendale. We feel it is in the best interest for the future of Allendale Civic Theatre to be non-profit. By achieving this status, it will now allow those wishing to donate to the Civic Theatre the ability to use the donation as a tax deduction. It also allows us to purchase goods and services without having to pay taxes. Other benefits include the ability to apply for grants which will greatly assist us in future productions and workshops.
Our first order of business as a non-profit is to raise the funds to finish paying the attorney fees associated with this process. We are appealing to all of you who have supported the theatre in one way or another for a donation in any amount that will be allocated for this endeavor. In exchange, you will know you played a vital role in assisting the Civic Theatre to grow. In addition, we will publish all names of those who donate in our programs for the upcoming season.
If you can find a way to support this, we would greatly appreciate it. Checks can be mailed to the Allendale Civic Theatre, P.O. Box 505, Allendale, Michigan 49401. Checks should be made payable to the Allendale Civic Theatre.
We thank you for your continued support and appreciate anything you can do.
Kindest regards,
Allendale Civic Theatre Board of Directors
