THe MCIntyre Hall
​Local Performing Arts Fund

Grant Applications Will Be Accepted:
August 1 - September 15, 2025
Through the tremendous generosity of a local donor with a passion for the arts, this endowment provides annual grant funding to local not-for-profit performing arts groups (including school-affiliated groups) to use for expenses & fees to perform at McIntyre Hall.
These grants awards will go directly to the organization to support their costs to perform at McIntyre Hall. 

​The McIntyre Hall Local Performing Arts grant opportunity has grown tenfold since its founding in 2022, an incredible gift to our community. The Skagit Community Foundation is a bridge between the donor's vision and the local impact of their generosity.

In total, this opportunity has provided more than $228,192 to local not-for-profit performing arts groups since its inception. This unique grantmaking demonstrates the profound impact that can be made when ideas are brought to life.
​
Thank you to the generous and anonymous donor for enriching and empowering the arts in our Skagit community.
