2023 ANNUAL FUND

As a community-supported 501 (c)(3) nonprofit we rely on donors like you to help us continually dream and implement quality programming so we can fulfill our mission and serve as an active and vital center for the enrichment of our community.

The Annual Fund is what helps keep fabulous live music, theater, film and classes accessible for all in our community to enjoy. Even in the best of times, our programming requires funding beyond ticket sales – particularly with our goal to keep pricing as affordable as possible.

The arts at Gorton Center supply an enriching quality of life, a healthier economy, and a vibrant connection to each other and the rest of the world. Please give to the Annual Fund today.
