PACA Launches Capital Fund Drive
Announced at The Event 2 on February 28, 2009, PACA has launched their first ever Capital Fund Drive with a goal of $100,000 for local area contributions. It is essential to reach this goal both for "bricks and mortar" expenses in creating the center -and- to demonstrate local area support for the center, which is a key component for meeting grant requirements.

Overall expense to create the Chewelah Performing and Cultural Arts Center is a nominal $900,000, with $130,000 raised (as of March 2009) by the estate of Liz Riley and by PACA fundraisers.

The IRS granted nonprofit 501(c)3 certification to PACA on April 19, 2009. All donations are tax deducible, retroactive to August 8, 2008.

Fundraising
The lifeblood of any arts organization is fundraising, fundraising not only for the initial expenses of creating an arts center, but fundraising for ongoing expenses. For most art centers, selling out every seat for every performance yields less than 50% of the art center budget, thus, the ongoing need for community support and donations to keep the center viable and healthy.
