MCEF's Mission Statement

MCEF's goal is to help fund quality performing arts events in the Treasure Valley by subsidizing production costs of local arts groups and sponsoring performances of national and international artists. We look forward to partnering with you to bring a positive impact to our community.

Important Definitions

• Theater is defined as a structure that contains rows of permanent seating before a stage area where a performance is given to an audience.
• Event is used to denote an entire production, ie. the entire run of the Nutcracker.
• Show is used to denote one performance of the event, ie. the Saturday matinee of the Nutcracker.

Payment Procedure

Fill out the Post-Production Worksheet only after the completion of an event for which you received a grant award. We do ask that you return this request within three months of the event. If you need more time, please contact us at grants@morrisonendowment.org. Be aware, we may not reimburse all expenses related to your event.

Following a MCEF staff review of this worksheet, a check will be issued by the Morrison Center Endowment Foundation to your organization.
