$285,140 in support from Cuyahoga Arts &

over $330,000 when our current award ends in 2017.
This money has helped us to hire a full time
Technical Director and key other personnel, and
enabled us to continue bringing you the best in
community theater. This type of funding
strengthens our community, and enriches the
quality of life in our neighborhoods for people of
all ages. </p>

within Cuyahoga County. Established by voters in
2007, CAC has awarded over 1,200 grants since
then, distributing over $125 million in tax
dollars to more than 300 organizations based in
the County. Renewal of this funding source will be
