And by supporting The Bushnell’s future, you are enriching our entire region by providing a home for the performing arts, a center for community activity, a standard-bearer in arts education and a leader in the revitalization of our city.

Members are permanently recognized on the beautiful Legacy Wall located in the second level lobby outside of Belding Theater and are invited to unique events such as A Celebration of Giving, a special dinner hosted by President and CEO, David Fay, honoring our most inspired supporters.

DID YOU KNOW…that The Bushnell’s very first estate gift was made by our founder, Dotha Bushnell Hillyer? (She was The Reverend Horace Bushnell’s very savvy, very generous daughter.) You can do what Dotha did, when you include a gift for The Bushnell in your estate plans…and we’ll think you’re pretty special, too!
