Description
The McIntyre Hall Local Performing Arts Grants are administered by Skagit Community Foundation to support local not-for-profit performing arts groups, including school-affiliated groups. Established in 2022 through the generosity of a local donor, the fund is sustained by an endowment that provides annual support for performances at McIntyre Hall. Awards go directly to organizations to help cover the venue expenses and fees associated with their performances.
The opportunity reflects founding donor Jacqueline Stegner’s commitment to enriching and empowering the arts in the Skagit community. With additional donor contributions and volunteer grantmaking review committees, the program helps musicians and performers of all ages demonstrate how the arts connect the community. Its focus is specifically on using McIntyre Hall, rather than other performance-production costs.
