The Fox Theatre is pleased to announce 12 grant recipients for its current year, totaling $500,000 in financial support. These single-year grants were funded in two categories: Preservation & Facilities and Technical Assistance. The Fox Theatre, through its nonprofit partnerships program Fox Gives, is dedicated to strengthening communities and their iconic performing arts institutions while providing support through financial investments. This grant funding addresses financial deficiencies through the nonprofit’s community engagement program.

Since its inception in 2008, Fox Gives has expanded its philanthropic effort, more than doubling its financial commitment to preserving historic theaters in local communities across Georgia and the Southeast. Over the past 16 years, Fox Gives has awarded over $3.7 million to more than 70 historic theater organizations. The single-year grant program addresses emergency needs, historic structure studies or planning, technical assistance and preservation and facilities upgrades.

“Every year, we look forward to issuing these single-year grants to truly impact communities throughout Georgia,” said Leigh Burns, director of community partnerships for Fox Gives. “We see theatre preservation as more than just restoring buildings; it’s about enriching downtown areas in communities and creating vibrant performing arts spaces where people can gather, experience the arts and connect.”
