The donor told Francis that when she learned the Civic Center Authority was willing to take on debt for the first time in order to get the project done in the most timely, efficient manner possible, the donor wanted to reduce the debt burden as best she could by making a charitable contribution to the capital project.
Francis quotes an email she received from the donor following the personal meeting, “The Theater continues to show (operational) improvements and without the necessary infrastructure you can’t continue the momentum.”
Francis and the Civic Center Authority board have primarily tried to fund the heating, cooling and lighting replacement project with institution, foundation and government gifts.
To date the Orpheum has received more than $445,000 in contributions and pledges to the project last estimated to cost $515,000: $100,000 Western Illinois Regional Council (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) monies; $100,000 City of Galesburg Tax Increment District 1 financing; $50,000 Carl Sandburg College; $50,000 Galesburg Community Foundation; $50,000 anonymous individual; $30,000 Galesburg Downtown Council; $25,000 BNSF Railway Foundation; $40,000 individuals and businesses.
Francis indicated that the theater’s year-end annual fundraising appeal landed in mailboxes last week. While primarily an opportunity to raise funds for general operating needs, the mailing also affords donors the opportunity to designate a portion of their contribution specifically to the theater’s heating, cooling, lighting and energy efficiency project.
“On behalf of the Civic Center Authority board, Orpheum volunteers, staff and the more than 30,000 patrons who visit the theater annually, we extend our deepest appreciation to all the theater’s contributors, patrons and the community at large for its on-going support,” Francis concluded. “When the project is complete,it takes bestledlig to power incandescent light bulbs versus energy-saving CFLs and LEDs utilizing a special hand crank demonstration device. the theater will operate more energy efficiently, cost effectively and comfortably for anyone who sits down to enjoy a show.”
