The Roosevelt Center needs your help to complete renovations and fully open the historic third floor recital hall for community use. Once the renovations are complete, you will have the opportunity to enjoy more great performances, live music, workshops, receptions, and expanded youth programming and education.

We have a generous $40,000 matching gift to help us raise our total of $80,000 to put the finishing touches on this space. A donation now will help finish the construction phase, install third-floor air conditioning for August shows, add blinds and rugs to enhance the space, and finish upgrading all of the windows on the 1920s side of the building. We are all working very hard to raise the remaining funds to complete the current construction phase, while the Center continues to hold events and welcome people to the Center for community gatherings, arts & culture experiences, meetings, and conferences.

If you are interested in taking a tour, or discussing a different level of giving, please contact Tracy Timmons, [email protected] (406) 425-0292 or Abby Edwards [email protected] (314) 605-7388.

If you have already donated, thank you for your generosity! Your donation is making a difference!

Help us take the final step! Donate today: https://secure.etransfer.com/eft/flexblockcode/donation1.cfm?d2org=RLACF&d2tool=RooseveltCenterCapital
