Greetings, fellow Capitol enthusiasts!

The Capitol Civic Centre Foundation was established in 1992 with a mission to secure the Capitol’s long-term financial well-being. As an independent 501(c)3 organization, it is committed to building a robust endowment that fosters the arts and helps sustain the future of the building. Through annual campaigns and planned giving initiatives, it works diligently to achieve this goal.

To maximize the impact of the Capitol’s endowment, the Foundation partners with the Lakeshore Community Foundation. Their expertise ensures our funds are invested wisely, providing optimal returns. This collaborative approach guarantees rigorous financial oversight and adherence to industry standards.

Each year, a percentage of the endowment provides support to the ongoing operations of the Capitol. This funding is based on an average of the endowment during the past 12 quarters and is approved by the Board of the Foundation each year. This sustainable funding model ensures the Capitol can continue to provide arts and cultural experiences for the community for years to come.

Planned giving is a powerful tool for growing the Capitol’s endowment. For donors, it provides a great opportunity to support the future of arts in Manitowoc County while ensuring that their donations are going to be used wisely. Why choose planned giving?
