The Altarena Endowment Fund

Play a key role in the future of Alameda’s long theatrical tradition.

For over 70 years, we’ve been been producing exciting, high-quality live theater in Alameda. Generous community support coupled with strong ticket sales have allowed us to continue growing and raising the level of artistic excellence, all while balancing our operating budgets and keeping ticket prices affordable. However, as production costs continue to rise, and arts funding becomes more scarce, we recognize some serious challenges ahead.

In response, Altarena Board of Directors announced the creation of the Altarena Endowment Fund in 2008, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Alameda Little Theatre Inc. This important financial resource will ensure that the our theater is able to operate for the next 70 years, and beyond.

The assets of the Altarena Endowment Fund are carefully invested, while the annual interest income supports the artistic programs and operations of the theater. You can help secure the Altarena’s future by making a donation of cash or securities, or by arranging to make a planned gift. Your support of the Altarena Endowment Fund will mean that future generations of local artists and audiences will continue to be enriched and inspired by our long tradition of outstanding community theater.
