“Surrounded by beautiful manicured gardens and event lawns. The gaillard center offers residents, businesses and visitors, children, the elderly and disabled, a communal space that will bring people together with ease, energize projects and ideas, and make new things and thinking possible. The gaillard center was seeded by generous private contributions, to be matched by others, to be an epicenter of inspiration, imagination, and collaboration for the entire community. Every dollar of donor contribution goes directly toward the cost of this vital project. The gaillard center opened on october 18, 2015. At the conclusion of the capital campaign, the gphf will raise funds toward an endowment. The endowment is a permanent fund designed to protect, preserve and advance community investment and stakeholder interest in the cultural, economic and educational resource made possible by the capital campaign. The mission of the gaillard performance hall foundation and its endowment is to promote and support the charleston gaillard center, specifically the martha & john m. Rivers performance hall, the educational programs conducted therein, and the resident arts organizations making use of it. The endowment aims first and foremost to permanently fund the gaillard center education initiative, which endeavors to fill critical student learning gaps with standards-based educational programming in the martha & john m. Rivers performance hall. The initiative aims also to provide transportation and mitigate financial barriers to magnificent performing arts experiences for all area schoolchildren, with particular emphasis on zero-cost access for students of title i schools and those who qualify for reduced-price lunch plans. The gphf will raise endowment funds via deferred and planned gifts, outright endowment gifts, as well as major, current and blended gifts.”
