Donations February 2024

The Colonial Theatre

I've been hoping since my first visit to the balcony section of the old 1903 theatre that one day the place would get some serious TLC and be renovated. So when I received an email saying that all donations up to 10k would be matched, I had to send some cash their way. 



Please join me in the Low Budget Philanthropy movement and help out your community and beyond in the simplest way - donating any amount to whatever charity or organisation that you care about!

Follow up email in March 2024:

It is happy indeed here at The Colonial - we raised the Building Restoration Challenge's $10,000 goal in less than 30 days! The initial deadline was World Theatre Day, (March 27) so needless to say, we are over-achievers 🙂. A sincere thank you to this generous group of donors for making it happen. With the major donor's match, the theatre now has $20,000 to use for future restoration projects in our historic venues. Feel free to share this announcement with friends and family who love the theatre - the Building Fund is a year-round campaign. 

Wishing everyone a fun and safe weekend and thank you again!
