Description
Skagit Community Foundation administers the McIntyre Hall Local Performing Arts Grants to help local not-for-profit performing arts groups, including school-affiliated groups, bring performances to the Skagit County community. The grants make use of McIntyre Hall more accessible, helping organizations share their talents, engage audiences, and expand local performing arts experiences.
Established in 2022 through founding donor Jacqueline Stegner’s generosity, the endowed fund provides annual support for musicians and performers of all ages. Awards go directly to organizations to cover McIntyre Hall venue expenses and fees, rather than the additional costs of producing or promoting a performance. Local donors and volunteer grantmaking review committees support the program’s work connecting the community through the arts.
