The Battle River Community Foundation awarded grants totalling $3,750 to The Bailey Theatre Society. Battle River Community Foundation Board Member Ben Paulson presents the cheque to Colleen Nelson, President of The Bailey Theatre Society.
The grants to The Bailey Theatre Society were awarded in response the Society’s grant applications to support the purchase of a portable air conditioning unit for the theatre control room eliminating the need and cost for facility wide air conditioning, for replacement of flooring, and for banquet table cloths.
The grants are from the Baumle Farms Fund for the Environment, the John and Muriel Chamberlain Fund, the Lindsay, Ronald and Shirley Lindsay Fund, the Douglas and Dorothy Mattson Endowment Fund for the Arts, and the Foundations Community Funds.
The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support organizations in east central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.
Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.
Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $8,679,700 to support charitable activities in the Battle River Region.
