Foundation Support
As a small non-profit theater company, support from charitable foundations and individuals has always played a large part in making possible all that we do. This year we’d like to thank the following organizations:
• The Helen and George Ladd Charitable Corporation has renewed their support of our educational programming with a $5,000 grant. A portion of this funding will be used to support FST Education Director Ian Bannon’s participation in a year-long arts-integration pilot program with Maine Alliance for Arts Education and Eastport Public Schools. We are grateful to the trustees of the Ladd Corporation for their longstanding support.
• Gifts from the Brooks Family Foundation and the Casey Family Foundation, each for $1,000, will support FST’s general operating budget.
• The Maine Arts Commission awarded FST an Organizational Development Grant of $2,000, which will be used to purchase new video equipment and provide staff training in its use. (As you may have noticed from our increased social media presence, we’re trying to get better at sharing the good news about our work!)
• Lastly, an anonymous grant of $8,500 will support a 2019 tour of Four Quartets and in-school programming in the mid-coast area of Maine.
We wanted to take a moment to thank these foundations and those of you who have donated to FST in the past year. Your support is invaluable!
Thank you,
John & Ian
