DONATIONS

The Grand Theater Corporation (GTC), a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, is currently laying the foundation required to effectively launch a major capital campaign.  The intended purpose of the campaign is to raise sufficient funds to restore the Wheaton Grand Theater to its original splendor and assure its future success as a thriving arts and entertainment center. 

We are currently creating a variety of gifting options for individuals, organizations and corporations.  They will include monetary as well as in-kind gifting opportunities as we continue to move through the process of identifying our specific short-term and long-term needs.   Examples of future gifting possibilities include specific Naming Right opportunities, Theatre Seat sales, Founders Circle Memberships and Tiered Giving Levels.  We will make it easy and convenient for you to pledge your support by designing an individual giving plan that will meet your personal needs. 

In addition, we will post our most current “wish list” for goods and services which could include office supplies, used but still usable office furniture and equipment, construction materials, cleaning supplies, etc.   

It is our goal to make the Wheaton Grand Theater restoration an exciting, but accessible and reasonable endeavor, one that everyone in the greater Wheaton community will have an opportunity to participate in. 

Please complete our on-line form if you are interested in receiving more information about our future gifting programs as they become available.  Or, if you are interested in supporting our current needs but have questions please contact Nanette Shepardson at (630) 221-1049.
