“A civilization flourishes when people plant trees under whose shade they will never sit.” - Greek Proverb

A strong endowment is the key to the future of RiverPark Center. You may find this interesting: Only a few arts centers in Kentucky administer a program on the level of RiverPark Center. But look at the difference in endowments:

Kentucky Center for the Arts
Louisville
$11 Million endowment
$6 million appraised art collection

Norton Center for the Arts
Danville
$11 million endowment

Lexington Opera House
Lexington
$7 million endowment

Luther Carson Four Rivers Center
Paducah

Building our endowment is key to our ability to sustain standards of excellence, to maintain the RiverPark facility, to attract quality artists and productions, to expand our education and outreach programs.

The U.S. government recognizes the value of nonprofit organizations by providing substantial tax benefits for charitable giving.
