LCT Launches Endowment Fund with LACF for a Brighter Future

In an inspiring move to secure the longevity of the arts in the region, La Crosse Community Theatre (LCT) has officially launched the LCT Endowment Fund in partnership with the La Crosse Area Community Foundation (LACF). This visionary initiative ensures that future generations will experience the joy, inspiration, and community connection that only live theatre can provide.

Investing in the Future of Theatre

For over 60 years, LCT has been a cultural cornerstone in the La Crosse region, offering professional-quality productions, dynamic education programs, and opportunities for creativity. As the theatre continues to grow—expanding its facilities and enhancing its offerings—the Endowment Fund establishes a foundation of financial sustainability. This fund guarantees resources for maintaining facilities, producing engaging shows, and fostering artistic development for all ages.

"Our mission is not just to celebrate our rich theatrical heritage but to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing arts landscape," said Erik Vose, Executive Director of LCT. "The Endowment Fund is our ticket to ensuring that the magic of theatre continues to flourish for generations to come."

A Partnership Rooted in Community

The fund will be administered by the La Crosse Area Community Foundation, an organization dedicated to enhancing the greater La Crosse area through impactful philanthropy. Through this collaboration, the LCT Endowment Fund will benefit from pooled investments, professional fiscal management, and expert guidance in charitable giving.

LACF’s vision of "Investing in communities. For Good. Forever." aligns seamlessly with LCT’s mission. Contributions to the endowment will grow over time, creating a perpetual resource to support the arts in La Crosse.

Creating a Legacy of Inspiration

The LCT Endowment Fund offers a meaningful opportunity for donors to leave a lasting legacy. Legacy gifts allow supporters to honor loved ones, celebrate their passion for the arts, or simply invest in a future where theatre remains an essential part of the community.

"A gift to the LCT Endowment Fund isn’t just a donation—it’s a commitment to tomorrow," Vose added. "Together, we can ensure that the lights never dim, and the stories on our stage continue to inspire."

How to Contribute

Supporters interested in making a legacy gift or contributing to the fund are encouraged to contact the La Crosse Area Community Foundation or visit their website to learn more. Donations can be made as one-time gifts or recurring contributions, ensuring accessibility for everyone who wishes to participate in this transformative initiative.

This endowment launch is not just a step toward sustainability but a beacon of hope for a vibrant future where theatre thrives, enriching lives and bringing the community together for generations to come.
